Weak convergence of greedy algorithms in Banach spaces (Q734939)

The paper deals with the convergence in the weak topology of some greedy algorithms in uniformly smooth Banach spaces \(X\) which satisfy the following condition (WN property). For \(f\in X\), \(f\neq 0\), let \(F_f\in X^*\) such that \(\| F_f\|_{X^*}= 1\) and \(F_f(f)= \| f\|_X\). We say that \(X\) has the WN property if every sequence \(\{x_n\}\in X\) with \(\| x_n\|_X= 1\), is weakly null whenever \(\{F_{xn}\}\) is weakly null in \(X^*\). The authors prove that the \(X\)-greedy algorithm and the weak dual greedy algorithm converge in the weak topology in any uniformly smooth Banach space with the WN property and show many classes of spaces which satisfy these conditions (e.g. reflexive Banach spaces with the uniform Opial property).
