Weak additivity of metric pythagorean orthogonality

It is well known that the property of additivity of pythagorean orthogonality characterizes real inner product spaces among normed linear spaces. In the present paper, a natural concept of additivity is introduced in metric spaces, and it is shown that a weakened version of this additivity of metric pythagorean orthogonality characterizes real inner product spaces among complete, convex, externally convex metric spaces, providing a generalization of the earlier characterization.     

Strong additivity of metric isosceles orthogonality

It is known that the property of additivity of isosceles orthogonality characterizes real inner product spaces among normed linear spaces. In the present paper it is shown that suitably metrized concepts of additivity of metric isosceles orthogonality characterize euclidean or hyperbolic spaces among complete, convex, externally convex metric spaces.     

Giuseppe Tallini: His life and work

It is known that euclidean or hyperbolic spaces are characterized among certain metric spaces by the property of linearity of the equidistant locus of pairs of points. In this paper, this linearity requirement is replaced by the requirement of convexity of the set of points which are metrically pythagorean orthogonal to a given segment at a given point. As a result a new characterization of real inner product spaces among complete, convex, externally convex metric spaces is obtained.     

Metrizations of orthogonality and characterizations of inner product spaces

Characterizations of real inner product spaces among normed linear spaces have been obtained by exploring properties of and relationships between various orthogonality relations which can be defined in such spaces. In the present paper the authors present metrized versions of some of these properties and relationships and obtain new characterizations of real inner product spaces among complete, convex, externally convex metric spaces.     

Characterization of inner product spaces in V- and L-spaces

In [4], Freese and Murphy introduce a new class of spaces, the V-spaces, which include Banach spaces, hyperbolic spaces, and other metric spaces. In this class of spaces they investigate conditions which are equivalent to strict convexity in Banach spaces, and extend some of the Banach space results to this new class of spaces. It is natural to ask if known characterizations of real inner product spaces among Banach spaces can also be extended to this larger class of spaces. In the present paper it will be shown that a metrization of an angle bisector property used in [3] to characterize real inner product spaces among Banach spaces also characterizes real inner product spaces among V-spaces, and among another class of spaces, the L-spaces, which include hyperbolic spaces and strictly convex Banach spaces. In the process it is shown that in a complete, convex, externally convex metric space M, if the foot of a point on a metric line is unique, then M satisfies the monotone property, thus answering a question raised in [4].     

关于随机赋范空间与随机内积空间的某些基本理论(英文)

首先提出随机度量空间定义的另一个提法,这提法不仅等价于原始的定义而且也使随机度量空间自动归入广义度量空间的框架,也考虑了关于拓扑结构的某些新的问题;循着同样的思路,对随机赋范空间的定义也作了新的处理并同时简化了随机赋范模的定义．其次本文也证明了一个Ｅ－范空间的商空间等距同构于一个典型的Ｅ－范空间;进一步,在概率赋范空间的框架下证明了一个概率赋伪范空间是伪内积生成空间的充要条件是它等距同构于一个Ｅ－内积空间,这回答了Ｃ．Ａｌｓｉｎａ与Ｂ．Ｓｃｈｗｅｉｚｅｒ等人新近提出的公开问题．最后,本文转向了它的中心部分──关于随机内积空间的研究,对随机内积空间中的特有且复杂的正交性作较系统的讨论,论证了只有几乎处处正交性才是唯一合理的正交性概念,在此基础上本文尤其将Ｇ．Ｓｔａｍｐａｃｃｈｉａ的在众多学科中都有多种用途的一般投影定理（或称变分不等式解存在性定理）以适当形式推广到完备实随机内积模上．     

An extension of pythagorean and isosceles orthogonality and a characterization of inner-product spaces

A new orthogonality relation in normed linear spaces which generalizes pythagorean orthogonality and isosceles orthogonality is defined, and it is shown that the new orthogonality is homogeneous (additive) if and only if the space is a real inner-product space.     

A new type of orthogonality for normed planes

In this paper we introduce a new type of orthogonality for real normed planes which coincides with usual orthogonality in the Euclidean situation. With the help of this type of orthogonality we derive several characterizations of the Euclidean plane among all normed planes, all of them yielding also characteristic properties of inner product spaces among real normed linear spaces of dimensions d ⩾ 3.     

The Cauchy–Schwarz inequality and the induced metrics on real vector spaces mainly on the real line

It is very well known that the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality is an important property shared by all inner product spaces and the inner product induces a norm on the space. A proof of the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality for real inner product spaces exists, which does not employ the homogeneous property of the inner product. However, it is shown that a real vector space with a product satisfying properties of an inner product except the homogeneous property induces a metric but not a norm. It is remarkable to see that the metric induced on the real line by such a product has highly contrasting properties relative to the absolute value metric. In particular, such a product on the real line is given so that the induced metric is not complete and the set of rational numbers is not dense in the real line.     

Area orthogonality in normed linear spaces

A new concept of orthogonality in real normed linear spaces is introduced. Typical properties of orthogonality (homogeneity, symmetry, additivity, ...) and relations between this orthogonality and other known orthogonalities (Birkhoff, Boussouis, Unitary-Boussouis and Diminnie) are studied. In particular, some characterizations of inner product spaces are obtained.     

Orthogonality spaces and orthogonally additive mappings

Summary An open problem on orthogonality spaces posed by Jürg R?tz in [10] (also cf. [14] is completely solved in this paper, so that orthogonality spaces admitting nonzero even orthogonally additive mappings are completely described. As a by-product, a characterization of real inner product spaces is also given.     

Isosceles-orthogonality preserving property and its stability

For real normed spaces, we consider the class of linear operators, preserving approximately the relation of isosceles-orthogonality. We show some general properties of such mappings. Next, we examine whether an approximately orthogonality preserving mapping admits an approximation by an orthogonality preserving one. In regard to this, we generalize some results obtained earlier for inner product spaces with standard orthogonality relation.     

Altitude properties and characterizations of inner product spaces

New characterizations of real inner product spaces (euclidean spaces) among metric spaces are obtained from familiar formulas expressing the altitude (height) of a triangle as a function of the lengths of its sides. Other properties related to the altitude of a triangle are also shown to result in characterizations of euclidean spaces, or euclidean and hyperbolic spaces.     

Orthogonalities,linear operators,and characterization of inner product spaces

It is proved that a normed space, whose dimension is at least three, admitting a nonzero linear operator reversing Birkhoff orthogonality is an inner product space, which releases the smoothness condition in one of J. Chmieliński’s results. Further characterizations of inner product spaces are obtained by studying properties of linear operators related to Birkhoff orthogonality and isosceles orthogonality.     

Orthogonality connected with integral means and characterizations of inner product spaces

Kikianty and Dragomir (Math Inequal Appl 13:1–32, 2010) introduced the p?HH norms on the Cartesian square of a normed space, which are equivalent, but are geometrically different, to the well-known p-norms. In this paper, notions of orthogonality in terms of the 2?HH norm are introduced; and their properties are studied. Some characterizations of inner product spaces are established, as well as a characterization of strictly convex spaces.     

An orthogonality in normed linear spaces based on angular distance inequality

In this paper, we present a new orthogonality in a normed linear space which is based on an angular distance inequality. Some properties of this orthogonality are discussed. We also find a new approach to the Singer orthogonality in terms of an angular distance inequality. Some related geometric properties of normed linear spaces are discussed. Finally a characterization of inner product spaces is obtained.     

General logical metatheorems for functional analysis

In this paper we prove general logical metatheorems which state that for large classes of theorems and proofs in (nonlinear) functional analysis it is possible to extract from the proofs effective bounds which depend only on very sparse local bounds on certain parameters. This means that the bounds are uniform for all parameters meeting these weak local boundedness conditions. The results vastly generalize related theorems due to the second author where the global boundedness of the underlying metric space (resp. a convex subset of a normed space) was assumed. Our results treat general classes of spaces such as metric, hyperbolic, CAT(0), normed, uniformly convex and inner product spaces and classes of functions such as nonexpansive, Hölder-Lipschitz, uniformly continuous, bounded and weakly quasi-nonexpansive ones. We give several applications in the area of metric fixed point theory. In particular, we show that the uniformities observed in a number of recently found effective bounds (by proof theoretic analysis) can be seen as instances of our general logical results.

     

度量凸函数的延拓

每个度量空间都能等距嵌入到实Banach空间,所以度量凸函数可视为Banach空间子集上的函数．本文举出反例说明不是所有度量凸函数都能延拓为凸函数,并给出度量凸函数能延拓为凸函数的充分条件．     

Some fixed point theorems in convex metric spaces

The concept of a convex metric space was introduced by Takahashi [10]. He observed that it is possible to generalize fixed point theorems in Banach spaces. Subsequently, Machado [8], Itoh [5], Naimpally, Singh and Whitfield [9] and Beg and Azam [2], among others have studied fixed point theorems in convex metric spaces. This paper is a continuation of these investigations.     

On mappings which approximately preserve angles

In this paper, we study mappings, which approximately preserve angles between inner product spaces. We also introduce a notion of angle in normed spaces. The notion of angle, considered in this part, relates to the well-known Birkhoff–James orthogonality. Based on it, we express a characterization for approximate Birkhoff–James orthogonality, introduced in the literature, through this notion of angle. Then we return to the issue of mappings which approximately preserve angle stating some results in normed spaces.
