Convergence of an iterative sequence

Consider the recursive relation,
x_k = f(x_{k-1}) + f(x_{k-2})
where f is non-negative, strictly decreasing and concave (f''>0) with
f(0)=1 and f(inf)=0.
Also, x_0=0
I would need to know if this always converges to the fixed point
x=2f(x), and why. How to solve this kind of problems? Any help would
be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jesús Cid.
