We use one-dimensional differential inequalities to estimate the squareness and type of Banach spaces with modulus of convexity of power type two. The estimates obtained are sharp and the constants involved moderate.

We compare various constructions of random proportional quotients of $l{₁}^m$ (i.e., with the dimension of the quotient roughly equal to a fixed proportion of m as m → ∞) and show that several of those constructions are equivalent. As a consequence of our approach we conclude that the most natural “geometric” models possess a number of asymptotically extremal properties, some of which were hitherto not known for any model.

We give an alternative proof of the stable manifold theorem as an application of the (right and left) inverse mapping theorem on a space of sequences. We investigate the diffeomorphism class of the global stable manifold, a problem which in the general Banach setting gives rise to subtle questions about the possibility of extending germs of diffeomorphisms.

In one of the earliest monographs that involve the notion of a Schauder basis, Franklin showed that the Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization of a certain Schauder basis for the Banach space of functions continuous on [0,1] is again a Schauder basis for that space. Subsequently, Ciesielski observed that the Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization of any Schauder system is a Schauder basis not only for C[0,1], but also for each of the spaces $L^p[0,1]$, 1 ≤ p < ∞. Although perhaps not probable, the latter result would...

In this paper we define a generalized Cesàro sequence space $ces\left(p\right)$ and consider it equipped with the Luxemburg norm under which it is a Banach space, and we show that the space $ces\left(p\right)$ posses property (H) and property (G), and it is rotund, where $p=\left(p_k\right)$ is a bounded sequence of positive real numbers with $p_k>1$ for all $k\in N$.

In this paper, we define the direct sum ${\left({⨁}_{i=1}^n{X}_i\right)}_{ce{s}_p}$ of Banach spaces X₁,X₂,..., and Xₙ and consider it equipped with the Cesàro p-norm when 1 ≤ p < ∞. We show that ${\left({⨁}_{i=1}^n{X}_i\right)}_{ce{s}_p}$ has the H-property if and only if each $X_i$ has the H-property, and ${\left({⨁}_{i=1}^n{X}_i\right)}_{ce{s}_p}$ has the Schur property if and only if each $X_i$ has the Schur property. Moreover, we also show that ${\left({⨁}_{i=1}^n{X}_i\right)}_{ce{s}_p}$ is rotund if and only if each $X_i$ is rotund.

Let Ω be either the complex plane or the open unit disc. We completely determine the isomorphism classes of $Hv=f:\Omega \to ℂholomorphic:su{p}_{z\in \Omega }\left|f\left(z\right)\right|v\left(z\right)<\infty$ and investigate some isomorphism classes of $hv=f:\Omega \to ℂharmonic:su{p}_{z\in \Omega }\left|f\left(z\right)\right|v\left(z\right)<\infty$ where v is a given radial weight function. Our main results show that, without any further condition on v, there are only two possibilities for Hv, namely either $Hv\sim l_{\infty }$ or $Hv\sim H_{\infty }$, and at least two possibilities for hv, again $hv\sim l_{\infty }$ and $hv\sim H_{\infty }$. We also discuss many new examples of weights.

Boulahia and the present authors introduced the Orlicz norm in the class $B^{\varphi }$-a.p. of Besicovitch-Orlicz almost periodic functions and gave several formulas for it; they also characterized the reflexivity of this space [Comment. Math. Univ. Carolin. 43 (2002)]. In the present paper, we consider the problem of k-convexity of $B^{\varphi }$-a.p. with respect to the Orlicz norm; we give necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of strict convexity and reflexivity.

In this paper, we obtain criteria for KR and WKR points in Orlicz function spaces equipped with the Luxemburg norm.

R. M. Aron and R. H. Lohman introduced, in [1], the notion of lambda-property in a normed space and calculated the lambda-function for some classical normed spaces. In this paper we give some more general remarks on this lambda-property and compute the lambda-function of other normed spaces, namely: B(S,∑,X) and Md(E).
