On a generalisation of local uniform rotundity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we investigate the property (HLUR), a generalisation of (LUR) property of a Banach space. A Banach space having the property (HLUR) is called an HLUR space. We characterise (HLUR) property with the help of known geometric properties and study various properties of HLUR spaces. We show that for any finite dimensional Banach space, the property (HLUR) coincides with anti-Daugavet property of the space. We also show some applications of HLUR spaces in connection with farthest points of sets.


Several geometric properties of a Banach space related to local uniform rotundity are considered. The main focus is, however, on the property the author calls HLUR which is a weakening of local uniform rotundity. Recall that a Banach space \(X\) is locally uniformly rotund (LUR) if \(\|x - x_n\| \to 0\) whenever \(x \in S_X\) and \((x_n) \subset S_X\) with \(\|x + x_n\| \to 2.\) A Banach space is said to be HLUR if for every \(x \in S_X\) and every \((x_n) \subset S_X\) with \(\|x + x_n\| \to 2,\) we have \(d(x_n, S(x^*, 0)) \to 0\) for every \(x^* \in S_{X^*}\) with \(x^*(x) = 1.\) Here \(S(x^*, 0)\) denotes the set \(\{y \in B_X: x^*(y) = 1\}.\) The author establishes (in Theorem~4.3) characterizations of the property HLUR in terms of other known geometric Banach space properties. He then obtains several consequences of this, among them a result (Corollary~4.4) characterizing LUR spaces. In Corollary~4.8 the author also proves that for finite dimensional spaces \(X\), the property HLUR is equivalent to the anti-Daugavet property. A Banach space \(X\) has the anti-Daugavet property if for every bounded linear operator \(T: X \to X\) satisfying the equation \(\|I + T\| = 1 + \|T\|\), where \(I\) is the identity operator on \(X\), \(\|T\|\) belongs to the spectrum of \(T.\)
