With reference to the notions of global convergence and plus-global convergence introduced by \textit{G. Dillena} and \textit{B. Messano} [Rend. Ist. Math. Univ. Trieste 19, No.1, 32-43 (1987; Zbl 0644.54018)], we prove that, for a dendrite X with a finite number of end points and a continuous map F of X into itself, the successive approximations method relative to pair (X,F) converges globally if and only if F has no periodic points; furthermore, we show that if F has no periodic points and the set of fixed points of F is totally disconnected then the successive approximations method relative to the pair (X,F) plus-converge globally. Some auxiliary propositions have been proved in more general topological areas. One of them refers to a compact metric space \((\Gamma,d')\), to a continuous map \(\phi\) of \(\Gamma\) into itself and to a sequence \((x_ n)_{n\in {\mathbb{N}}}\) of points of \(\Gamma\) such that the sequence \((d'(x_{n+1},\phi (x_ n)))_{n\in {\mathbb{N}}}\) converges to zero, and concerns the set of the cluster points of the sequence \((x_ n)_{n\in {\mathbb{N}}}\). In the end the global convergence and plus-global convergence in any metric space are characterized.
