Splitting groups of prime order.
The aim of this paper is to investigate the stability of the positive part of the unit ball in Orlicz spaces, endowed with the Luxemburg norm. The convex set in a topological vector space is stable if the midpoint map , is open with respect to the inherited topology in . The main theorem is established: In the Orlicz space the stability of the positive part of the unit ball is equivalent to the stability of the unit ball.
* This work was supported by the CNR while the author was visiting the University of Milan.To a convex set in a Banach space we associate a convex function (the separating function), whose subdifferential provides useful information on the nature of the supporting and exposed points of the convex set. These points are shown to be also connected to the solutions of a minimization problem involving the separating function. We investigate some relevant properties of this function and of its conjugate...
The isoperimetric inequality for Steiner symmetrization of any codimension is investigated and the equality cases are characterized. Moreover, a quantitative version of this inequality is proven for convex sets.
