Iterations of a function

In this file we prove simple properties of Nat.iterate f n a.k.a. f^[n]:

• iterate_zero, iterate_succ, iterate_succ', iterate_add, iterate_mul: formulas for f^[0], f^[n+1] (two versions), f^[n+m], and f^[n*m];

• iterate_id : id^[n]=id;

• Injective.iterate, Surjective.iterate, Bijective.iterate : iterates of an injective/surjective/bijective function belong to the same class;

• LeftInverse.iterate, RightInverse.iterate, Commute.iterate_left, Commute.iterate_right, Commute.iterate_iterate: some properties of pairs of functions survive under iterations

• iterate_fixed, Function.Semiconj.iterate_*, Function.Semiconj₂.iterate: if f fixes a point (resp., semiconjugates unary/binary operations), then so does f^[n].

def Nat.iterate {α : Sort u} (op : α → α) : ℕ → α → α

Iterate a function.

Equations
