Extreme norms on \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) (Q2638529)

Let \(N^ 1\), \(N^{\infty}\) be the \(\ell^ 1\) and \(\ell^{\infty}\) norms on \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\). We denote by \({\mathcal N}\) the set of all norms N on \({\mathbb{R}}^ n\) such that \(N^{\infty}\leq N\leq N^ 1\). In the paper the characterization of extreme points of \({\mathcal N}\) is presented. Namely, for \(N_ 0\in {\mathcal N}\) we have \(N\in ext {\mathcal N}\) if and only if the extreme points of the unit ball of \(N_ 0\) are included in the unit sphere of \(\ell^{\infty}\).
