Abstract

We consider Lipschitz-continuous nonlinear maps in finite-dimensional Banach and Hilbert spaces. Boundedness and monotonicity of the operator are characterized quantitatively in terms of certain functionals. These functionals are used to assess qualitative properties such as invertibility, and also enable a generalization of some well-known matrix results directly to nonlinear operators. Closely related to the numerical range of a matrix, the Gerschgorin domain is introduced for nonlinear operators. This point set in the complex plane is always convex and contains the spectrum of the operator's Jacobian matrices. Finally, we focus on nonlinear operators in Hilbert space and hint at some generalizations of the von Neumann spectral theory.
