A bounded closed convex set K in a Banach space X is said to have quasi-normal structure if each bounded closed convex subset H of K for which diam(H) > 0 contains a point u for which ∥u-x∥ < diam(H) for each x ∈ H. It is shown that if the convex sets on the unit sphere in X satisfy this condition (which is much weaker than the assumption that convex sets on the unit sphere are separable), then relative to various weak topologies, the unit ball in X is compact whenever it is countably compact....
It is shown that for a metric space (M,d) the following are equivalent: (i) M is a complete ℝ-tree; (ii) M is hyperconvex and has unique metric segments.
Let X be a Banach space, C a closed subset of X, and T:C → C a nonexpansive mapping. It has recently been shown that if X is reflexive and locally uniformly convex and if the fixed point set F(T) of T has nonempty interior then the Picard iterates of the mapping T always converge to a point of F(T). In this paper it is shown that if T is assumed to be asymptotically regular, this condition can be weakened much further. Finally, some observations are made about the geometric conditions imposed.
The notion of proximal normal structure is introduced and used to study mappings that are "relatively nonexpansive" in the sense that they are defined on the union of two subsets A and B of a Banach space X and satisfy ∥ Tx-Ty∥ ≤ ∥ x-y∥ for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B. It is shown that if A and B are weakly compact and convex, and if the pair (A,B) has proximal normal structure, then a relatively nonexpansive mapping T: A ∪ B → A ∪ B satisfying (i) T(A) ⊆ B and T(B) ⊆ A, has a proximal point in the sense that...
