Contraction conjecture for the Lipschitz constants

About 8 years old · traced to

For each nn, let yny_n be the sequence-generated root and define

cn(ε)=Z(max⁡t∈[0,yn]{Yn+1,1(t)⩾t}+ϵ)−Z(min⁡t∈[yn,∞]{Yn+1,1(t)⩽t}−ϵ)2ε+max⁡t∈[0,yn]{Yn+1,1(t)⩾t}−min⁡t∈[yn,∞]{Yn+1,1(t)⩽t}.c_n(\varepsilon)=\frac{Z\left(\max_{t\in[0,y_n]}\{Y_{n+1,1}(t)\geqslant t\}+\epsilon\right)-Z\left(\min_{t\in[y_n,\infty]}\{Y_{n+1,1}(t)\leqslant t\}-\epsilon\right)}{2\varepsilon+\max_{t\in[0,y_n]}\{Y_{n+1,1}(t)\geqslant t\}-\min_{t\in[y_n,\infty]}\{Y_{n+1,1}(t)\leqslant t\}}.

This is the Lipschitz constant in the referenced formula. Contraction conjecture. It is always possible to choose a sufficiently small positive ε\varepsilon such that

0<cn(ε)<1.0<c_n(\varepsilon)<1.

Such a bound would provide a contraction estimate for the relevant Newton-iteration interval, but the supplied text gives no proof or resolution.
