A note on Edelstein’s iterative test and spaces of continuous functions

Jack Douglas Bryant and Thomas Francis McCabe

Vol. 69 (1977), No. 2, 333–335
Abstract

In this note a question posed by Nadler is answered. It is shown that if X is a compact Hausdorff space that contains a sequence of distinct points that converge then there exists a linear contractive selfmap f of C(X) such that, for some x, the sequence of iterates {fn(x)} does not converge. In particular, the iterative test is not conclusive for c.
