Spaces of Lipschitz and Hölder functions and their applications.

Nigel J. Kalton (2004)

Collectanea Mathematica

Similarity:

We study the structure of Lipschitz and Hölder-type spaces and their preduals on general metric spaces, and give applications to the uniform structure of Banach spaces. In particular we resolve a problem of Weaver who asks wether if M is a compact metric space and 0 < α < 1, it is always true the space of Hölder continuous functions of class α is isomorphic to l. We show that, on the contrary, if M is a compact convex subset of a Hilbert space this isomorphism holds if...

On the range of the derivative of a smooth function and applications.

Robert Deville (2006)

RACSAM

Similarity:

We survey recent results on the structure of the range of the derivative of a smooth real valued function f defined on a real Banach space X and of a smooth mapping F between two real Banach spaces X and Y. We recall some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions on a subset A of L(X,Y) for the existence of a Fréchet-differentiable mapping F from X into Y so that F'(X) = A. Whenever F is only assumed Gâteaux-differentiable, new phenomena appear: we discuss the existence of...

A survey on the Szlenk index and some of its applications.

Gilles Lancien (2006)

RACSAM

Similarity:

We describe how the Szlenk index has been used in various areas of the geometry of Banach spaces. We cover the following domains of application of this notion: non existence of universal spaces, linear classification of C(K) spaces, descriptive set theory, renorming problems and non linear classification of Banach spaces.

Extension of Lipschitz functions defined on metric subspaces of homogeneous type.

Alexander Brudnyi, Yuri Brudnyi (2006)

Revista Matemática Complutense

Similarity:

If a metric subspace Mº of an arbitrary metric space M carries a doubling measure μ, then there is a simultaneous linear extension of all Lipschitz functions on Mº ranged in a Banach space to those on M. Moreover, the norm of this linear operator is controlled by logarithm of the doubling constant of μ.

Lipschitz-free Banach spaces

G. Godefroy, N. J. Kalton (2003)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We show that when a linear quotient map to a separable Banach space X has a Lipschitz right inverse, then it has a linear right inverse. If a separable space X embeds isometrically into a Banach space Y, then Y contains an isometric linear copy of X. This is false for every nonseparable weakly compactly generated Banach space X. Canonical examples of nonseparable Banach spaces which are Lipschitz isomorphic but not linearly isomorphic are constructed. If a Banach space X has the bounded...

Smoothness in Banach spaces. Selected problems.

Marian Fabian, Vicente Montesinos, Václav Zizler (2006)

RACSAM

Similarity:

This is a short survey on some recent as well as classical results and open problems in smoothness and renormings of Banach spaces. Applications in general topology and nonlinear analysis are considered. A few new results and new proofs are included. An effort has been made that a young researcher may enjoy going through it without any special pre-requisites and get a feeling about this area of Banach space theory. Many open problems of different level of difficulty are discussed. For...
