This page does not specify if the operators under discussion are linear. The first link (operator norm) seems to assume linear operators. My question is, does this discussion generalize to nonlinear operators? |

It needs to be made clear that a contraction operator is not in general a [[contraction mapping]] since the inequality is onlt weak. Indeed some texts, eg Kres, ''Numerical analysis'', GTM 181, use the stronger definition.
