Let S be the set of eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix of T at x_0
that have absolute value <= 1, and r the maximum of the absolute
values of these. If r < 1, then for typical starting
points y_0 in the stable manifold the sequence of iterates y_n
should have ||y_{n+1} - x_0||/||y_n - x_0|| -> r as n -> infinity.
For any r' with 1 > r' > r, the number of iterations to go from
distance 1 to epsilon should be less than ln(epsilon)/ln(r') for
sufficiently small epsilon.
