M-ideals of compact operators in classical Banach spaces.
We study the problem of whether , 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 is an M-ideal in (ⁿE), then coincides with (n-homogeneous polynomials that are weakly continuous on bounded sets at 0). We introduce a polynomial version of property (M) and derive that if and (E) is an M-ideal in...
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...
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.
We say that a function from 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....
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.
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...
