An approximate analytic fixed point of the period-doubling renormalization operator can be certified by a frozen Newton correction for a fixed-point equation. A coefficient Banach space, rigorous residual and derivative bounds, and an a posteriori contraction ball give existence and local uniqueness in the full function space. Interval arithmetic controls finite computations; analytic estimates control the infinite coefficient tail.

At a current approximation $p$, Taylor's theorem replaces $\Phi (p+h)=0$ by the affine equation $\Phi (p)+D\Phi (p)h=0$. Solving this equation gives the Newton iteration in a Banach spaceThe inverse is a bounded linear inverse by the bounded inverse theorem. The displayed operator is defined where the derivative is invertible, in particular on the specified open domain; the hypotheses do not supply a globally defined Newton operator on all of $\mathcal{X}$. If $\Phi (\bar{p})=0$ with $\bar{p}$ in that domain, then $N(\bar{p})=\bar{p}$.

For quadratic convergence, choose a sufficiently small neighbourhood of $\bar{p}$. Continuity of the inverse derivative and of $D^2\Phi$ gives constants $M,L$ there such thatPut $e=p-\bar{p}$ and $B(p)=[D\Phi (p){]}^{-1}$. The quadratic Newton error bound in a Banach space follows from the integral remainder:soTake a closed radius-$r$ ball lying in the neighbourhood with $Cr<1$. This inequality maps the ball into itself and makes errors tend to zero. More explicitly, for $e_n=\Vert p_n-\bar{p}\Vert$, induction gives $C{e}_{n+j}\le (C{e}_n{)}^{2^j}$. Hence every sufficiently close initial point converges to $\bar{p}$ at least quadratically; special maps can converge still faster.

For a fixed-point equation, apply the same method to $F(p)=\Phi (p)-p$. Wherever $D\Phi (p)-I$ is invertible, the exact adapted map isEvery fixed point of $\Phi$ is fixed by $A$, and conversely on this domain. This additional invertibility condition is distinct from invertibility of $D\Phi$; for example, $D\Phi =I$ is invertible but $D\Phi -I=0$ is not.

For certification, a frozen Newton correction for a fixed-point equation is often more useful. Choose a bounded, injective approximate inverse $J$ of $D\Phi (p_0)-I$ and setAgain $A_J(p)=p$ if and only if $\Phi (p)=p$. A well-chosen $J$ makes the corrected operator contract even if the original operator has an expanding direction. The subsequent contraction mapping argument requires the stated derivative and residual bounds; it does not assume that arbitrary inverse approximations provide them.
