Normality and modulability indices. I: Convex cones in normed spaces (Q2473889)

The paper consists of two parts. In the first the authors discuss the concepts that are related to normality and oblateness of cones in normed spaces: pointedness, sharpness, almost reproducibility, solidity, etc. Some natural numeric characteristics are suggested and the relevant duality relations are established. In the second part [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 338, No. 1, 392--406 (2008; Zbl 1141.46005)], a few of the obtained results are clarified in the Hilbert space setting. The research of the authors is closely related to the openness of correspondences, which remains beyond discussion.
