contents N. G. de Bruijn (1958) studied the asymptotic expansion of iterates of sin$(x)$ with $0 < x \leq π/2$. Bencherif & Robin (1994) generalized this result to increasing analytic functions $f(x)$ with an attractive fixed point at 0 and $x > 0$ suitably small. Mavecha & Laohakosol (2013) formulated an algorithm for explicitly deriving required parameters. We review their method, testing it initally on the logistic function $\ell(x)$, a certain radical function $r(x)$, and later on several transcendental functions. Along the way, we show how $\ell(x)$ and $r(x)$ are kindred functions; the same is also true for sin$(x)$ and arcsinh$(x)$.
