A subsequence characterization of sequences spanning isomorphically polyhedral Banach spaces
Let (x_n) be a sequence in a Banach space X which does not converge in norm, and let E be an isomorphically precisely norming set for X such that (*) ∑_n |x*(x_{n+1} - x_n)| < ∞, ∀x* ∈ E. Then there exists a subsequence of (x_n) which spans an isomorphically polyhedral Banach space. It follows immediately from results of V. Fonf that the converse is also true: If Y is a separable isomorphically polyhedral Banach space then there exists a normalized M-basis (x_n) which spans Y and there exists...
