A Day-Nordlander theorem for the tangential modulus of a normed space (Q1359623)

Continuing the notation of the author's paper [Mathematica 38, 199-207 (1996; see the preceding review)] the author proves the following: Let \(X\) be real linear space of dimension \(\geq 2\). Then \(\xi_X(\beta)\geq \xi_H(\beta)\) for all \(\beta\in [0,1)\). Moreover, if \(X\) is a real normed space of dimension \(\geq 2\) and if for a fixed \(\beta\in (0,1)\) we have \(\xi_X(\beta)= \xi_H(\beta)\), then \(X\) is an inner product space.
