* Supported by NSERC (Canada)Let X be a Banach space equipped with norm || · ||. We say that || · || is Gâteaux differentiable at x if for every h ∈ SX(|| · ||), (∗) lim t→0 (||x + th|| − ||x||) / t exists. We say that the norm || · || is Gâteaux differentiable if || · || is Gâteaux differentiable at all x ∈ SX(|| · ||).
We study an order boundedness property in Riesz spaces and investigate Riesz spaces and Banach lattices enjoying this property.
It is shown in the note that every reflexive Orlicz function space has the Schroeder-Bernstein Property and the Primary Property.
We show that a theorem of Rudin, concerning the sum of closed subspaces in a Banach space, has a converse. By means of an example we show that the result is in the nature of best possible.
Let X,Y be real Banach spaces and ε > 0. Suppose that f:X → Y is a surjective map satisfying | ∥f(x)-f(y)∥ - ∥x-y∥ | ≤ ε for all x,y ∈ X. Hyers and Ulam asked whether there exists an isometry U and a constant K such that ∥f(x) - Ux∥ ≤ Kε for all x ∈ X. It is well-known that the answer to the Hyers-Ulam problem is positive and K = 2 is the best possible solution with assumption f(0) = U0 = 0. In this paper, using the idea of Figiel's theorem on nonsurjective isometries, we give a new proof of...
We present an example of a Banach space admitting an equivalent weakly uniformly rotund norm and such that there is no , for any set , linear, one-to-one and bounded. This answers a problem posed by Fabian, Godefroy, Hájek and Zizler. The space is actually the dual space of a space which is a subspace of a WCG space.
Using Tsirelson’s well-known example of a Banach space which does not contain a copy of or , for p ≥ 1, we construct a simple Borel ideal such that the Borel cardinalities of the quotient spaces and are incomparable, where is the summable ideal of all sets A ⊆ ℕ such that . This disproves a “trichotomy” conjecture for Borel ideals proposed by Kechris and Mazur.
We prove that weakly Lindelöf determined Banach spaces are characterized by the existence of a ``full'' projectional generator. Some other results pertaining to this class of Banach spaces are given.
