See the article "Solving a Functional Equation" by Enrique Castillo, José Manuel Gutiérrez, and Andrés Iglesias in The Mathematica Journal 5(1), 1995: 82-86. The associated package, which I have not tested, is available at http://cdec.unican.es/ftp/herramientas/fsolve/Packages/ Cheers, Paul -- Paul Abbott Phone: +61 8 9380 2734 School of Physics, M013 Fax: +61 8 9380 1014 The University of Western Australia (CRICOS Provider No 00126G) 35 Stirling Highway Crawley WA 6009 mailto:paul at physics.uwa.edu.au AUSTRALIA http://physics.uwa.edu.au/~paul
