We fix a choice of $\lambda$ such that $P_a(x) = x - \lambda x(x-a)(x-1)$ satisfies $P([0,1])=[0,1]$ and $P$ is increasing on $[0,1]$. Let $\left(P_a^{\circ n}\right)_{n\geq 0}$ be the sequence of polynomials defined recursively by $P_a^{\circ 0}(x) = x$ and $P_a^{\circ n+1}(x) = P_a\left(P_a^{\circ n}(x)\right)$.
Show that $P_a^{\circ n}$ converges uniformly to 1 on every compact subset of $]a,1]$ and uniformly to 0 on every compact subset of $[0,a[$.
