The Banach-Mazur distance between \(C(\Delta)\) and \(C_0 (\Delta)\) equals \(2\) (Q6545462)

Denote by \(C(\Delta)\) the Banach space of all continuous real-valued functions on the Cantor set \(\Delta\) and put \(C_{0}(\Delta)= \{f \in C(\Delta): f(1)=0 \}\). In this paper, it is proven that the Banach-Mazur distance between \(C(\Delta)\) and \(C_{0}(\Delta)\) is~$ 2$. As an immediate consequence, the authors solve a problem left open in [\textit{L.~Candido} and \textit{E.~M. Galego}, Fundam. Math. 218, No.~2, 151--163 (2012; Zbl 1258.46002)].
