Wheeling around von Neumann-Jordan constant in Banach spaces
In recent times, many constants in Banach spaces have been defined and/or studied. Relations and inequalities among them (sometimes very complicated) have been indicated. But not much effort has been devoted to organize all connections, also because the literature on the subject is growing at an always bigger rate. Here we give some new connections which better the insight on some of them. In particular, we improve a known inequality between the von Neumann-Jordan and James constants.
On some geometric properties concerning closed convex sets.
In this article, we consider the (weak) drop property, weak property (a), and property (w) for closed convex sets. Here we give some relations between those properties. Particularly, we prove that C has (weak) property (a) if and only if the subdifferential mapping of Cº is (n-n) (respectively, (n-w)) upper semicontinuous and (weak) compact valued. This gives an extension of a theorem of Giles and the first author.
