>From C.T. Kelley *Iterative Methods for Linear and Nonlinear Equations*,
p.66,

In this section we analyze convergence of fixed-point iteration, which is
given by

  x_{n+1} = K(x_n)

This iterative method is also called nonlinear Richardson iteration, Picard
iteration, or the method of successive substitution.
