Strictly convex metric spaces with round balls and fixed points

Inese Bula (2005)

Similarity:

The paper introduces a notion of strictly convex metric space and strictly convex metric space with round balls. These objects generalize the well known concept of strictly convex Banach space. We prove some fixed point theorems in strictly convex metric spaces with round balls.

Metric spaces with the small ball property

Ehrhard Behrends, Vladimir M. Kadets (2001)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

A metric space (M,d) is said to have the small ball property (sbp) if for every ε₀ > 0 it is possible to write M as the union of a sequence (B(xₙ,rₙ)) of closed balls such that the rₙ are smaller than ε₀ and lim rₙ = 0. We study permanence properties and examples of sbp. The main results of this paper are the following: 1. Bounded convex closed sets in Banach spaces have sbp only if they are compact. 2. Precisely the finite-dimensional Banach spaces have sbp. (More generally: a complete...
