Extract

Suppose where S is a compact set (of say). Let Φ (mapping S into S) and Ψ be continuous on S and such that Ψ(xk) is monotone (non-decreasing, say) as k increases, and xk+1 = Φ(xk). Put Ψ = lim (k → ∞)Ψ(xk); if {xk(i)}i=0 is a convergent subsequence of {xk}, with a limit-point α, then Ψ = Ψ(α), and and
