Abstract: We sharpen the classic a priori error estimate of Babuska for Petrov-Galerkin methods on a Banach space. In particular, we do so by (i) introducing a new constant, called the Banach-Mazur constant, to describe the geometry of a normed vector space; (ii) showing that, for a nontrivial projection $P$, it is possible to use the Banach-Mazur constant to improve upon the naive estimate $|I-P|leq1+|P|$; and (iii) applying that improved estimate to the Petrov-Galerkin projection operator. This generalizes and extends a 2003 result of Xu and Zikatanov for the special case of Hilbert spaces.

Review text

The author derives some estimate for the projection operator \(P\) on a Banach space, sharper than the naive estimate \(\|I-P\|\leq 1+\|P\|\). This is achieved by using the so-called Banach-Mazur constant to describe the geometry. Then this estimate is applied to improve the estimates for Petrov-Galerkin methods on a Banach space. This result generalizes an earlier work of \textit{J. Xu} and \textit{L. Zikatanov} [ibid. 94, No. 1, 195--202 (2003; Zbl 1028.65115)] in the context of a Hilbert space.
