The sequence $ (x_n)^{\infty}_{n\equal{}1}$ is defined by $ x_1 \equal{} 1$ and $ x_{n\plus{}1} \equal{}\frac{(2 \plus{} \cos 2\alpha)x_n \minus{} \cos^2\alpha}{(2 \minus{} 2 \cos 2\alpha)x_n \plus{} 2 \minus{} \cos 2\alpha}$, for all $ n \in\mathbb{N}$, where $ \alpha$ is a given real parameter.

Let $ C$ denote the set of functions $ f(x)$, integrable (according to either Riemann or Lebesgue) on $ (a,b)$, with $ 0\le f(x)\le1$. An element $ \phi(x)\in C$ is said to be an "extreme point" of $ C$ if it can not be represented as the arithmetical mean of two different elements of $ C$. Find the extreme points of $ C$ and the functions $ f(x)\in C$ which can be obtained as "weak limits" of extreme points $ \phi_n(x)$ of $ C$. (The latter means that $ \lim_{n\to \infty}\int_a^b \phi_n(x)h(x)\,dx\equal{}\int_a^bf(x)h(x)\,dx$ holds for every integrable function $ h(x)$.)
