Talk:Contraction mapping

message: In response to the question: "to anon: what's the anomaly?" on my last edit:
In the first section, 'contractions' and 'non-expansive maps' are defined. Contractions are maps that are Lipschitz continuous with Lipschitz constant <1. Non-expansive maps have Lipschitz constant ≤ 1.
In the operator theory section, a 'contraction' is a linear operator of norm ≤ 1. Thus a contraction is a non-expansive linear operator. Thus in operator theory, contraction means something very different than in the context of the first section. For example, the identity map is a contraction operator but not a contraction mapping, following these definitions.

replies: text: So to say 'as a special case of the above definition' is a bit misleading... I will trust your judgment on the best way to change the wording, but no change at all does not seem very considerate to readers. 128.135.100.161 20:28, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: yes, you're right. i disagreed with your previous changes because to emphasize this slight difference seemed somewhat misleading as well. but maybe the difference is not so slight. the contraction mapping theorem requires < 1 and would not apply to the operator case. i am going to revert article to your last version.

message: "A contraction mapping has at most one fixed point." Isn't this only true for non-expansive maps? Oops, never mind that. Arthena(talk) 21:11, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If this is confusing, the "proof" is just writing down mathematically what it means: If f(x)=x [Definition of fixed point x], then d(f(x), f(y)) = d(x, f(y) < d(x, y) which means means that f(y)≠y. Back in words: f(y) is closer to x than y, so f(y) cannot be the same point as y.

It's hard to find quotes or sources on this without them being from a partisan news source, I've been unable to find the documents of the actual appeals.  Are there any suggestions on finding these?

In January 2017, Schuette was admonished by Eastern District of United States of Michigan Judge David M.

Judge Lawson said it injected a "troubling ethical issue into [the] lawsuit" and it suggested "superficial posturing" on behalf of Schuette. [12]

Talk:Stevensville, Montana

message: I'm removing the Luther Stanley quote from the history section because it's riddled with errors. For one thing, Stevensville was never the capital of any territory. For another, Isaac Stevens did not lay out the town. According to Montana Place Names, G. A. Kellog did. For another thing, neither the mission nor the fort were in ruins at the time; they were both thriving. Lastly, Fort Owen was a trading post, not a military fort. I think that's enough error to justify scrapping the whole quote. VanillaBean28 (talk) 19:45, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Victoria College, Melbourne

message: This was good stuff to read. Thanks to the contributors for that.Jaker5 01:30, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I changed the "dominant" to "largest" in the opening paragraph. While Victoria College was indeed largest in terms of student numbers, its major focus on teacher education and relatively low exposure in graduate education (compared with Swinburne and Chisholm) meant that it didn't really dominate the CAE scene in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne. At the time of the mergers in the early 1990s, the head of the Post-Secondary Education Commission, Dr Ron Cullen, said at a meeting at which I was present that Victoria College was a bit of a problem as its large teacher education component made it an unpalatable partment formany of the potential merger partners.JimBreen 05:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Dominant?

message: I can find no direct evidence that Victoria College's "Lilydale Study Centre" was operating at the time of Prahran's merger with Swinburne or that the "Lilydale Study Centre" was transferred to Swinburne at that time. The transfer of Lilydale operations to Swinburne is not mentioned in either of the Victorian Government acts formalising the mergers with Swinburne and Deakin, nor in the excellent "Razor Gang to Dawkins" thesis referenced at the bottom of the article page, nor in any other source that I have been able to find. It is not reasonable to assume that simply because Victoria College previously had a Lilydale Study Centre and Swinburne now has a Lilydale Campus that one necessarily followed from the other. I have also deleted the only remaining mention of Lilydale in the article as it was a pretty insignificant development in the overall context of Victoria College's history, with an apparent peak enrollment of only 137. For the record, I worked at Swinburne's Lilydale Campus for eight years and my understanding is that establishment of the Lilydale campus had more to do with lobbying from Richard Pratt than VC's history there. "Establishment of an outer-east campus" was ultimately a condition attached to Swinburne being awarded university status by the state government about six months following the Prahran merger.

message: Did Wray say this?
I found this on Toonzone:
"Originally Posted by Bill Wray, Comics Journal #122
"You can look at all this finger pointing and such, they did this, you did that, it all came down to the fact that they weren't getting shows on time. I don't think would have minded if the shows were over budget. They wouldn't have been happy, but they would have gotten over it. I don't even think they would have minded if one or two shows got out of hand and they couldn't show them; just as long as there was a ton of product following it "

Talk:Bainville, Montana

message: Discussion about the origins of the name 'Bainville' should be held on this page--not on the article page.  Currently, the only citation provided is from www.montanahistory.net which appears to be condensed from the 1957 Montana Almanac.  On the currently cited webpage it says, 'named for C. M. Bainville a local resident of that section'.  If this is not the case, then additional cited sources will need to be provided, not just the uncited claim that Bainville was named for Charles Bain.  I realize it  doesn't seem logical for the namesake of a town to end with the suffix  '-ville', but that just adds to my curiosity to find a source.
