In [[mathematics]], an '''iterated function''' is a function that is obtained by [[function composition|composing]] another function with itself two or several times. The process of repeatedly applying the same function is called [[iteration]]. In this process, starting from some initial object, the result of applying a given function is fed again into the function as input, and this process is repeated.
