Uniform distribution of sequences and its interplay with functional analysis (Q6111829)

Using some ideas from Uniform Distribution of sequences theory, the following basic result is established by the authors:\par {Theorem 1.} Let \(E\) be a Banach space. Then,\par a) if \(F\) is bounded in \(E\) and \(x\in \text{ cl}\text{ co}(F)\) (the closed convex hull of \(F\)), then there exists a sequence \((x_n)\) in \(F\) which is Cesàro summable to \(x\).\par b) If \(E\) is separable, \(F\) is bounded in \(E^*\) and \(f\in \text{ cl}_{w^*} \text{ co}(F)\), then there exists a sequence \((f_n)\) in \(F\) whose sequence of arithmetic means \(((1/N)(f_1+\dots+f_N)\); \(N\ge 1)\) weak\(^*\)-converges to \(f\).\par Then, by further expanding these methods, the following result is proved.\par {Theorem 2.} Let \(\varphi:[a,b]\to R\) be a bounded variation function with \(\varphi(a)=0\) and \(V_a^b\varphi=1\). Also, let \(v\), \(p\) and \(n\) be the functions of total, positive and negative variations of \(\varphi\). Then, there are sequences \((x_n)\) in \([a,b]\) and \((\varepsilon_n)\) in \(\{-1,1\}\), such that, for every \(x\in [a,b]\) we have\par 1) \(\lim_N (1/N)\sum_{k=1}^N \chi_{[a,x)}(x_k)=v(x)\),\par 2) \(\lim_N (1/N)\sum_{k=1}^N \varepsilon_k \chi_{[a,x)}(x_k)=\varphi(x)\),\par 3) \(\lim_N (1/2N)\sum_{k=1}^N (1+\varepsilon_k) \chi_{[a,x)}(x_k)=p(x)\),\par 4) \(\lim_N (1/2N)\sum_{k=1}^N (1-\varepsilon_k) \chi_{[a,x)}(x_k)=n(x)\).\par Further aspects suggested by these developments are also discussed.
