It is well known that any (nontrivial) linear compact self-adjoint operator acting in a Hilbert space possesses at least one non-zero eigenvalue. We present a generalization of this to nonlinear mappings as in the title, and discuss the relations of our results with the Birkhoff-Kellogg Theorem on one side, and with the spectral properties of self-adjoint operators on the other.
