nice, im trying to generalize it for $R \ ^ d $

@hardmath i think the "/2" in your def. of $||||_1$ should be on both x and y , dont you?

@Liad: I don't think it would hurt to do it that way, but it isn't necessary. Check the work.
Once you have it working in two dimensions, you can extend it to higher dimensions in various ways.
@hardmath i said it because you wrote $||T(x,y)|| < sqrt(0.5)x \ ^ 2 $ , i think $T(x,y) = sqrt(x \ ^ 2) $ , in your current def. am i missing something?
I actually think we need the custom norm the way I set it up,, so that ||x||_1 = 1 when we take x = (1,0)'.
Maybe I got the inequality wrong. I'll go check.
No, what I wrote was that ||T(x,y)'||_1 < 0.8 ||(x,y)'||_1, showing that T is a contraction in this norm.

Huh, i will go see it again.

@Liad: Keep in mind that $T(x,y)' = (0,x)'$, so that $||T(x,y)||_1 = ||(0,x)||_1 = \sqrt{x^2/2} = \sqrt{2} \cdot |x|$. This is less than $0.8 \cdot ||(x,y)||_1$.
yea, i thought that $T(x,y) = (x,0) $ thanks :)
@hardmath Are you a math. student?
18:10
@Liad: Aren't we all? But sadly I am no longer allowed to go back to school in the fall, because I'm too old and I already got a Ph.D. in math.
Nice ! :)
