New families of nonreflexive Banach spaces with the fixed point property (Q486568)

Let \(X\) be a Banach space with a Schauder basis \(\{e_n\}\). A norm \(p(\cdot)\) on \(X\) is said to be a sequentially separating norm if for every \(\varepsilon>0\) there exists a positive integer \(k\) such that \(p(x)+\limsup_np(x_n)\leq(1+\varepsilon)\limsup_np(x+x_n)\) whenever \(x:=\sum_nx(n)e_n\) is an element in \(X\) satisfying \(k\leq\min\{n:x(n)\neq0\}\) and \((x_n)\) is a bounded block basic sequence in \(X\). The main result of this paper is the following: If \(X\) is a Banach space with a boundedly complete Schauder basis \(\{e_n\}\) and there is an equivalent norm \(p\) on \(X\) such that it is a sequentially separating norm and it satisfies the property \(p(\sum_{n\geq k}x(n)e_n)\leq p(x)\) for all \(x:=\sum_nx(n)e_n\in X\) and for all \(k\geq1\), then there is another equivalent norm \(q\) on \(X\) such that every \(q\)-nonexpansive mapping defined on a bounded closed convex subset of \(X\) into itself has a fixed point. The authors also show that under some condition, the Luxemburg norm on a Musielak-Orlicz space is sequentially separating. They develop a technique to give some new construction of non-reflexive Banach spaces with the fixed point property.
