A systematization of convexity concepts for sets and functions.
If is an increasing sequence of absolutely convex sets, in a barrelled space , such that , it is deduced some properties of from the properties of the sets of . It is shown that in a barrelled space any subspace of infinite countable codimension, is barrelled.
We construct a metrizable simplex X such that for each n ɛ ℕ there exists a bounded function f on ext X of Baire class n that cannot be extended to a strongly affine function of Baire class n. We show that such an example cannot be constructed via the space of harmonic functions.
We investigate Baire classes of strongly affine mappings with values in Fréchet spaces. We show, in particular, that the validity of the vector-valued Mokobodzki result on affine functions of the first Baire class is related to the approximation property of the range space. We further extend several results known for scalar functions on Choquet simplices or on dual balls of L₁-preduals to the vector-valued case. This concerns, in particular, affine classes of strongly affine Baire mappings, the...
