Definition 3.6: Lipschitz property and contractions
Let DC Rd, and fix a norm ||· || : Rd → R+.
a) A function f : D → Rd is called L-Lipschitz with L € [0, ∞) if
||f(x) = f(y)|| ≤L||xy|| Vr, y = D.
It is called Lipschitz if it is L-Lipschitz for some L € [0, ∞).
b) A function f : D → D is called a contraction if it is L-Lipschitz for
some L € [0, 1).
