In 1964, Zarantonello published a constructive method for
the solution of certain nonlinear problems in a Hilbert space. We
extend the method in various directions including a generalization
to a Banach space setting. A revealing geometric interpretation of
the method yields guidelines for the analysis.
The malty flavor defect produced by Streptococcus lactis var.
maltigenes has been the cause of considerable economic distress to
