Let \(D\) be a compact subset of a topological vector space \(E\) and let \(F:D^{m+ 1}\to D\) be a continuous operator. For any starting points \(x_0,x_1,\dots, x_{m-1}\in D\) consider the implicit multistep method \[ \begin{multlined} x_n= F(x_n, y^m_n),\quad y^m_n= (y_{n- 1}, y_{n-2},\dots, y_{n-m}),\\ y_{n-i}= g^i_n(x_n, x_{n-1},\dots, x_{n- m}),\quad n= m,m+1,\dots,\end{multlined} \] where \(g^i_n: D^{m+1}\to D\), \(i= 1,2,\dots, m\), \(n\geq m\). The author provides sufficient conditions for the convergence of this iteration to a solution \(z\) of the fixed point equation \(x= F(x,x,\dots, x)\). His conditions guarantee uniqueness of \(z\). In addition, he presents a generalization of Edelstein's theorem on fixed points. Examples conclude the paper.
