Jachymski showed that the set $$\left\{(x,y)\in {𝐜}_0\times {𝐜}_0:{\left(\sum _{i=1}^n\alpha \left(i\right)x\left(i\right)y\left(i\right)\right)}_{n=1}^{\infty }\text{is}\text{bounded}\right\}$$ is either a meager subset of ${𝐜}_0\times {𝐜}_0$ or is equal to ${𝐜}_0\times {𝐜}_0$. In the paper we generalize this result by considering more general spaces than ${𝐜}_0$, namely ${𝐂}_0\left(X\right)$, the space of all continuous functions which vanish at infinity, and ${𝐂}_b\left(X\right)$, the space of all continuous bounded functions. Moreover, we replace the meagerness by $\sigma$-porosity.

In this paper, we extend the theory of simultaneous Diophantine approximation to infinite dimensions. Moreover, we discuss Dirichlet-type theorems in a very general framework and define what it means for such a theorem to be optimal. We show that optimality is implied by but does not imply the existence of badly approximable points.

Let E be a Banach space and let $ℬ₁\left(B_{E*}\right)$ and $₁\left(B_{E*}\right)$ denote the space of all Baire-one and affine Baire-one functions on the dual unit ball $B_{E*}$, respectively. We show that there exists a separable L₁-predual E such that there is no quantitative relation between $dist(f,ℬ₁\left(B_{E*}\right))$ and $dist(f,₁\left(B_{E*}\right))$, where f is an affine function on $B_{E*}$. If the Banach space E satisfies some additional assumption, we prove the existence of some such dependence.

We characterize some isomorphic properties of Banach spaces in terms of the set of norm attaining functionals. The main result states that a Banach space is reflexive as soon as it does not contain ℓ₁ and the dual unit ball is the w*-closure of the convex hull of elements contained in the "uniform" interior of the set of norm attaining functionals. By assuming a very weak isometric condition (lack of roughness) instead of not containing ℓ₁, we also obtain a similar result. As a consequence of the...
