Transformed Linear Chebyshev Approximation. (Short Communication).
We study the question of when the set of norm attaining functionals on a Banach space is a linear space. We show that this property is preserved by factor reflexive proximinal subspaces in spaces and generally by taking quotients by proximinal subspaces. We show, for (ℓ₂) and c₀-direct sums of families of reflexive spaces, the transitivity of proximinality for factor reflexive subspaces. We also investigate the linear structure of the set of norm attaining functionals on hyperplanes of c₀ and...
We show that the same degree of approximation as in the theorems proved by L. Leindler [Trigonometric approximation in -norm, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 302 (2005), 129–136] and P. Chandra [Trigonometric approximation of functions in -norm, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 275 (2002), 13–26] is valid for a more general class of lower triangular matrices. We also prove that these theorems are true under weakened assumptions.
In this paper we introduce two mappings associated with the lower and upper semi-inner product and and with semi-inner products (in the sense of Lumer) which generate the norm of a real normed linear space, and study properties of monotonicity and boundedness of these mappings. We give a refinement of the Schwarz inequality, applications to the Birkhoff orthogonality, to smoothness of normed linear spaces as well as to the characterization of best approximants.
