Normal Structure, Fixed Points and Related Parameters in Banach Spaces

From MaRDI portal





In this article, the author considers several parameters that are connected to a Banach space having uniform normal structure. If \(X\) is a Banach space with unit sphere \(S_X\) and if \(\xi,\eta >0\), define \[ J_{\xi,\eta}(X) = \sup_{x, y\in S_X} \min\{\|\xi x+ \eta y\|,\|\xi x- \eta y\|\} \] and \[ g_{\xi,\eta}(X) = \inf_{x,y\in S_X} \max\{\|\xi x+ \eta y\|,\|\xi x- \eta y\|\}. \] The author proves that if \(J_{\xi,\eta}(X) < \max\{\xi,\eta\} + {1\over 2} {\min\{ \xi,\eta \}}\) or \(g_{\xi,\eta}(X) > \max\{\xi,\eta\} + {1\over 3}{\min\{\xi,\eta\}}\) for some \(\xi, \eta >0\), then \(X\) has uniform normal structure. Although the results in this article generalize the results in the author's earlier article [Acta Anal.\ Funct.\ Appl.\ 2, 247-263 (2000; Zbl 0977.46005)], the proofs in the present article can be significantly shortened by noting that, for \(\xi \geq \eta >0\), \(J_{\xi,\eta}(X) = \xi J_{\eta/\xi}(X)\) and \(g_{\xi,\eta}(X) = \xi g_{\eta/\xi}(X)\). (The definitions of \(J_{\epsilon}(X)\) and \(g_{\epsilon}(X)\) can be found in the author's work cited above.) These equalities combined with the results in the earlier article to quickly yield the results in this article.
