Take and the constant contraction mapping . For , ,No Lipschitz constant less than one can work, so need not be a contraction. More generally, differing only in the second input coordinate already prevents a strict contraction whenever has two points.
If has contraction constant , two iterations giveand consequentlyThus is a contraction mapping. The swap lift of a contraction shows why an iterate can contract even when one step does not.
