Koenigs (Linearization) Theorem

If the magnitude (absolute value) of the multiplier of a holomorphic map f(t) at the point t=0 is not strictly equal to 0 or 1( that is, not super-attractive or indifferent) then a local holomorphic change of coordinates w = φ(z), called the Koenig's function, unique up to a scalar multiplication by nonzero constant, exists, having a fixed-point at the origin φ(0) = 0 such that Schröder's equation f(φ(x))=λφ(x) is true for some neighborhood of the origin.
