Weak moduli of convexity.
Let E be a real normed linear space with unit ball B and unit sphere S. The classical modulus of convexity of J. A. Clarkson [2] δE(ε) = inf {1 - 1/2||x + y||: x,y ∈ B, ||x - y|| ≥ ε} (0 ≤ ε ≤ 2) is well known and it is at the origin of a great number of moduli defined by several authors. Among them, D. F. Cudia [3] defined the directional, weak and directional weak modulus of convexity of E, respectively, as δE(ε,g)...
