Iteration for fixed point












3












$begingroup$


Suppose $x_{k+1}= g(x_k)$ is fixed point iteration for some continuously diffrentiable $g(x)$. The theorem im learning says that if $g(r) = r$ and $|g'(r)| < 1$ then the fixed point iteration converges to $r$ for initial guess $x_0$ sufficiently close to $r$.



MY question is: Is the converse is also true? That is, if the fixed point iteration converges to $r$, then we must have $|g'(r)|<1$?



OR is it possible to have situations where $g'(r) geq 1$ with $(x_k)$ convergent to $r$.

          Let $g(x)=x$. Then the sequence $(x_k)$ is constant hence convergent. We have $g'(x)=1$ for all $x$.

          Suppose you have the function $f(x)=kx(x-a)+a$ so that $f(a)=a$



          Then $f'(x)=2kx-k = k(2x-1)$ and if $aneq frac 12$ it is possible to choose a value of $k$ to make $f'(a)$ any value you choose.



          The difference is that if $|f'(a)| gt 1$ there is no open interval containing $a$ in which the iteration converges - this only happens at the point.



          The behaviour in general where $|f'(a)| = 1$ depends on the function.

            The iteration $x_{n+1}=sin(x_n)$ converges towards $r=0$ despite the derivative there being $cos(0)=1$.





            For $y_k=x_k^2$ one has the estimate by the Leibniz rule on alternating series
            $$small
            y_{k+1}=frac12(1-cos(2x_k))
            le y_k-frac13y_k^2+frac2{45}y_k^3
            %=y_kfrac{1-frac{1}{15}y_k^2-frac2{135}y_k^3}{1+frac13y_k}
            lefrac{y_k}{1+frac13y_k}\~\small
            implies y_{k+1}^{-1}gefrac13+y_k^{-1}implies y_klefrac{y_0}{1+frac{k}3y_0}
            $$

            so that one finds the convergence by the non-geometric majorant
            $$small
            |x_k|lefrac{|x_0|}{sqrt{1+frac{k}3x_0^2}}.
            $$

                          The iteration $x_{n+1}=sin(x_n)$ converges towards $r=0$ despite the derivative there being $cos(0)=1$.





                          For $y_k=x_k^2$ one has the estimate by the Leibniz rule on alternating series
                          $$small
                          y_{k+1}=frac12(1-cos(2x_k))
                          le y_k-frac13y_k^2+frac2{45}y_k^3
                          %=y_kfrac{1-frac{1}{15}y_k^2-frac2{135}y_k^3}{1+frac13y_k}
                          lefrac{y_k}{1+frac13y_k}\~\small
                          implies y_{k+1}^{-1}gefrac13+y_k^{-1}implies y_klefrac{y_0}{1+frac{k}3y_0}
                          $$

                          $$small
                          |x_k|lefrac{|x_0|}{sqrt{1+frac{k}3x_0^2}}.
                          $$
