No: pointwise convergence need not be uniform convergence. The continuous function maps into itself and is strictly below the identity. Its iteration of a map gives
For every finite , these values tend to as , so . With , choosing gives . Thus no single iterate works for every starting point, although each fixed starting point tends to zero.
