Functional-analytic properties of Corson-compact spaces
The exponential stability property of an evolutionary process is characterized in terms of the existence of some functionals on certain function spaces. Thus are generalized some well-known results obtained by Datko, Rolewicz, Littman and Van Neerven.
The notion of functions dependent locally on finitely many coordinates plays an important role in the theory of smoothness and renormings on Banach spaces, especially when higher smoothness (C∞) is involved. In this note we survey most of the main results in this area, and indicate many old as well as new open problems.
