%0 Journal Article %T Global convergence and non existence of periodic points of period 4 %A Basilio Messano %J Le Matematiche %D 1989 %I University of Catania %X It is given a non trivial example of nonempty subset I of C0([0,1]2) such that: whatever F I be, for the pair ([0,1]2,F) the successive approximations method converges globally (i.e. For each P [0,1]2 the sequence (Fn(P))n N converges to a fixed point of F if and only if F has no periodic point of period 4. %U http://www.dmi.unict.it/ojs/index.php/lematematiche/article/view/696
