No label defined (Q4463863)

In [Stud. Math. 110, No. 1, 1--8 (1994; Zbl 0840.46009)], \textit{J. García Falset, A. Jiménez Melado}, and \textit{E. Llorens Fuster} introduced a condition on certain measures of noncompactness on the set \({\mathcal B}\) of nonempty, bounded subsets of a Banach space \(X\) that imply that \(X\) has weak normal structure. In the article under review, the authors consider a similar (but distinct) notion. The authors call a nonnegative function \(\lambda\) on the set \({\mathcal B}\) a ``measure'' if \(\lambda\) is monotone and translation invariant and say, as in the above article, that \(X\) has property \(\lambda'\) if there exists \(\rho>0\) such that all slices \(S(f,p)\) of the unit ball of \(X\) determined by a norm-one functional \(f \in X^*\) and \(\rho\) satisfy \(\lambda (S(f,\rho))<1\). The measure \(\lambda\) is called \(w\)-admissible if, for every weakly null sequence \(\{x_n\}_n\) in \(X\) with \(\{\| x_n\|\}_n\) a convergent sequence, \(\lim_n \| x_n\| \leq \lambda\{x_n\}\). Among other results, the authors prove that, if \(\lambda\) is a \(w\)-admissible measure and \(X\) has property \(\lambda'\), then \(X\) satisfies a condition stronger than weak normal structure.
