Local rate of convergence for fixed point iteration with unique statonary point implies global?

109 Views Asked by At

Suppose one has a fixed point iteration $$x_{n+1}=f(x_n)$$ which is known to converge to a unique stationary point $x^*$, regardless of the initial value $x_0$. Suppose further that it is known that in some neighborhood of the solution, the rate of convergence is linear.

Can we infer any global convergence properties from the above? Any resources would be helpful.
