    It is evident, that if φ = 2π m/n + δ,   δ « 1, then mapping

        zk = f ok(z + ε) ~ z + |λ| k eikφε

    generates spiral structures in the neighbourhood of the fixed point z. Some of these spirals are shown below.

    Next we can investigate stability of fixed points and period 2 orbit of quadratic mappings analytically.
