A non-expansive mapping with can be strengthened to a firmly non-expansive mapping in a Hilbert space H if the following holds for all x and y in H:
where
This is a special case of averaged nonexpansive operators with . A firmly non-expansive mapping is always non-expansive, via the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality.
