M-ideals of homogeneous polynomials

Verónica Dimant (2011)

Studia Mathematica

We study the problem of whether w ( E ) , the space of n-homogeneous polynomials which are weakly continuous on bounded sets, is an M-ideal in the space (ⁿE) of continuous n-homogeneous polynomials. We obtain conditions that ensure this fact and present some examples. We prove that if w ( E ) is an M-ideal in (ⁿE), then w ( E ) coincides with w 0 ( E ) (n-homogeneous polynomials that are weakly continuous on bounded sets at 0). We introduce a polynomial version of property (M) and derive that if w ( E ) = w 0 ( E ) and (E) is an M-ideal in...

Minimal ball-coverings in Banach spaces and their application

Lixin Cheng, Qingjin Cheng, Huihua Shi (2009)

Studia Mathematica

By a ball-covering of a Banach space X, we mean a collection of open balls off the origin in X and whose union contains the unit sphere of X; a ball-covering is called minimal if its cardinality is smallest among all ball-coverings of X. This article, through establishing a characterization for existence of a ball-covering in Banach spaces, shows that for every n ∈ ℕ with k ≤ n there exists an n-dimensional space admitting a minimal ball-covering of n + k balls. As an application, we give a new...

Minimal incomplete norms on Banach algebras

Michael Meyer (1992)

Studia Mathematica

We study the family of all not necessarily complete algebra norms on a semisimple Banach algebra as a partially ordered set and investigate the existence and properties of minimal elements.

Minimal multi-convex projections

Grzegorz Lewicki, Michael Prophet (2007)

Studia Mathematica

We say that a function from X = C L [ 0 , 1 ] is k-convex (for k ≤ L) if its kth derivative is nonnegative. Let P denote a projection from X onto V = Πₙ ⊂ X, where Πₙ denotes the space of algebraic polynomials of degree less than or equal to n. If we want P to leave invariant the cone of k-convex functions (k ≤ n), we find that such a demand is impossible to fulfill for nearly every k. Indeed, only for k = n-1 and k = n does such a projection exist. So let us consider instead a more general “shape” to preserve....

Minimal pairs of bounded closed convex sets as minimal representations of elements of the Minkowski-Rådström-Hörmander spaces

Jerzy Grzybowski, Diethard Pallaschke, Ryszard Urbański (2009)

Banach Center Publications

The theory of minimal pairs of bounded closed convex sets was treated extensively in the book authored by D. Pallaschke and R. Urbański, Pairs of Compact Convex Sets, Fractional Arithmetic with Convex Sets. In the present paper we summarize the known results, generalize some of them and add new ones.

Minimal pairs of compact convex sets

Diethard Pallaschke, Ryszard Urbański (2004)

Banach Center Publications

Pairs of compact convex sets naturally arise in quasidifferential calculus as sub- and superdifferentials of a quasidifferentiable function (see Dem86). Since the sub- and superdifferentials are not uniquely determined, minimal representations are of special importance. In this paper we give a survey on some recent results on minimal pairs of closed bounded convex sets in a topological vector space (see PALURB). Particular attention is paid to the problem of characterizing minimal representatives...
