In [J.~Oper.\\ Theory 13, 203--217 (1985; Zbl 0593.47022)], \\textit{J.\\,Agler} characterized \\(n\\)-hypercontractive operators and showed that \\(T\\) is subnormal if and only if \\(T\\) is \\(n\\)-hypercontractive for all \\(n\\).  Let \\(\\ell^2(\\mathbb{Z}^+)\\) be the usual Hilbert space of all square-summable complex sequences, and let \\(\\alpha:\\alpha_0,\\alpha_1,\\alpha_2,\\alpha_3,\\dots\\) be a positive bounded weight sequence. The corresponding weighted shift is defined by  \\[ T((x_k)_{k\\geq0}):=(0,\\alpha_0x_0,\\alpha_1x_1,\\alpha_2x_2,\\dots),\\quad(x_k)_{k\\geq0}\\in \\ell^2(\\mathbb{Z}^+). \\]  In [Pac.\\ J.\\ Math.\\ 17, 367--379 (1966; Zbl 0189.43902)], \\textit{J.\\,G.\\thinspace Stampfli} showed that for \\(0<a<b<c\\) there exists a unique subnormal weighted shift of minimal norm with first three weights \\(\\sqrt{a},\\sqrt{b},\\sqrt{c}\\). This weighted shift is denoted by \\(W_{a,b}\\) and its weight sequence is denoted by \\((\\sqrt{a},\\sqrt{b},\\sqrt{c})^\\wedge\\).  In the paper under review, the author first shows that for every positive integer \\(n\\), the set of all nonnegative real numbers \\(x\\) for which the weighted shift \\(W_{\\alpha(x)}\\) with the corresponding weight sequence  \\[ \\alpha(x):\\sqrt{x},\\sqrt{2/3},\\sqrt{3/4},\\sqrt{4/5},\\dots \\]  is \\(n\\)-contractive is a closed interval \\([0,\\sqrt{\\mu_n}]\\), and that the sequence \\((\\mu_n)_{n\\geq1}\\) is strictly decreasing and tends to \\(1/2\\). When \\(n\\geq3\\), this result produces an \\(n\\)-contractive hyponormal weighted shift which is not \\((n+1)\\)-contractive. The author next uses an \\(n\\)-contractive approach to reestablish some subnormality results originally proved in the \\(k\\)-hyponormal context; see [Integral Equations Oper.\\ Theory 18, No.\\,4, 369--426 (1994; Zbl 0807.47016) and Proc.\\ Am.\\ Math.\\ Soc.\\ 130, No.\\,2, 565--576 (2002; Zbl 1003.47025)]. Furthermore, he shows that if \\(c\\) is chosen so that \\(\\| W_{a,b}\\| =1\\) and if the weighted shift \\(W_\\alpha\\) associated to the weight sequence  \\[ \\alpha:\\sqrt{x_m},\\sqrt{x_{m-1}},\\dots,\\sqrt{x_{1}},(\\sqrt{a},\\sqrt{b},\\sqrt{c})^\\wedge \\]  is \\(2\\)-hyponormal, then \\(W_\\alpha\\) is both \\(3\\)-contractive and \\(4\\)-contractive. He notices that if such weighted shift \\(W_\\alpha\\) is \\(3\\)-hyponormal instead of \\(2\\)-hyponormal, then it is subnormal, and thus \\(n\\)-contractive for all \\(n\\). He therefore provides an example of an extension with \\(m=2\\) and for which the corresponding weighed shift \\(W_\\alpha\\) is \\(2\\)-hyponormal but not \\(5\\)-contractive.  The author finally investigates back step extensions with the first two weights equal. In particular, he proves that for ever \\(0<a<1\\) and positive integer \\(n\\), there exists some real number \\(b\\) satisfying \\(a<b<1\\) and so that the weighted shift with the corresponding weight sequence  \\[ \\sqrt{a},(\\sqrt{a},\\sqrt{b},\\sqrt{c})^\\wedge \\]  is \\(n\\)-contractive. Here, the constant \\(c\\) is chosen as said above so that \\(\\| W_{a,b}\\| =1\\).","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q866832$8345B79E-1AE2-4DD5-8E15-747CD383389D","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"7956ec508163f0cbaf6dbcfae5781d397057df72","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":491126,"id":"Q491126"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q866832$DD9BD718-0927-45F4-AB42-1509B5F9F391","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"033d34354c34a4edf87acf906e25e7398d736156","datavalue":{"value":"47B20","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q866832$AAC5C34E-4680-41F4-A4D8-3269CA49DC48","rank":"normal"},{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"bd423470793786c3b7aa4dbceee0fe39b875931b","datavalue":{"value":"47B37","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q866832$9B26E0DE-52C4-4C92-9128-44B18449CD2F","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"d9bc5c20b7899ca140abe0313f0720af03a6baf6","datavalue":{"value":"5126594","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q866832$3D07B98F-281E-4860-9B9B-A98288E772CA","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"5883e7484468ee2067b85c8caf3348a69ce98e42","datavalue":{"value":"weighted
