A note on geometrical properties of Banach spaces using \(\psi\)-direct sums (Q860624)

Let \(X\) be a Banach space and \(\psi\) a continuous convex function on \([0,1]\) satisfying certain conditions. Let \(X\oplus_\psi X\) be the \(\psi\)-direct sum of \(X\). In this note, we characterize the strict convexity, uniform convexity and uniformly non-squareness of Banach spaces using \(\psi\)-direct sums, which extends the well-known characterization of these spaces.
