A fixed point obeys . Thus the necessary and sufficient existence condition is
If is not an eigenvalue of , then is an invertible matrix and the unique constant solution is . If is singular but the equation is consistent, all constant solutions are for any particular solution . For an existing fixed point, ; the successive difference in the question likewise obeys .
