We define a class of sequences {an} by a1 = a and an+1 = P(an), where P is a polynomial with real coefficients. For which a values, and for which polynomials P will these sequences be constant after a certain rank? Then we generalize it from polynomials P to real functions f. In this note, the author answers this question using as reference F. Lazebnik & Y. Pilipenko's E 3036 problem from A. M. M., Vol. 91, No. 2/1984, p. 140. An interesting property of functions admitting fixed points is obtained.
