Best Simultaneous Approximation and Its Applications in C ℝ(Q)

We develop a theory of best simultaneous approximation for closed convex sets in C _?(Q), the space of all real-valued continuous functions on a compact topological space Q endowed with the usual operations and with the norm ‖x‖ = max _q?Q |x(q)|. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of best simultaneous approximation in a conditionally complete Banach lattice X with a strong unit 1 by elements of the hyperplanes. We study best simultaneous approximation by elements of closed convex sets in C _?(Q) and give various characterizations of best simultaneous approximation.     

Closed convex sets and their best simultaneous approximation properties with applications

We develop a theory of best simultaneous approximation for closed convex sets in a conditionally complete lattice Banach space X with a strong unit. We study best simultaneous approximation in X by elements of closed convex sets, and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of best simultaneous approximation. We give a characterization of simultaneous pseudo-Chebyshev and quasi-Chebyshev closed convex sets in X. Also, we present various characterizations of best simultaneous approximation of elements by closed convex sets in terms of the extremal points of the closed unit ball B _X* of X*.     

Convex-compact sets and Banach discs

Every relatively convex-compact convex subset of a locally convex space is contained in a Banach disc. Moreover, an upper bound for the class of sets which are contained in a Banach disc is presented. If the topological dual E′ of a locally convex space E is the σ(E′,E)-closure of the union of countably many σ(E′,E)-relatively countably compacts sets, then every weakly (relatively) convex-compact set is weakly (relatively) compact.     

Remotality of Closed Bounded Convex Sets in Reflexive Spaces

Let X be a Banach space and E be a closed bounded subset of X. For x ? X, we define D(x, E) = sup{‖ x ? e‖:e ? E}. The set E is said to be remotal (in X) if, for every x ? X, there exists e ? E such that D(x, E) = ‖x ? e‖. The object of this paper is to characterize those reflexive Banach spaces in which every closed bounded convex set is remotal. Such a result enabled us to produce a convex closed and bounded set in a uniformly convex Banach space that is not remotal. Further, we characterize Banach spaces in which every bounded closed set is remotal.

The approximation property for spaces of holomorphic functions on infinite-dimensional spaces I

For an open subset U of a locally convex space E, let (H(U),τ₀) denote the vector space of all holomorphic functions on U, with the compact-open topology. If E is a separable Fréchet space with the bounded approximation property, or if E is a (DFC)-space with the approximation property, we show that (H(U),τ₀) has the approximation property for every open subset U of E. These theorems extend classical results of Aron and Schottenloher. As applications of these approximation theorems we characterize the spectra of certain topological algebras of holomorphic mappings with values in a Banach algebra.     

Computability of finite-dimensional linear subspaces and best approximation

We discuss computability properties of the set P_G(x) of elements of best approximation of some point x∈X by elements of G⊆X in computable Banach spaces X. It turns out that for a general closed set G, given by its distance function, we can only obtain negative information about P_G(x) as a closed set. In the case that G is finite-dimensional, one can compute negative information on P_G(x) as a compact set. This implies that one can compute the point in P_G(x) whenever it is uniquely determined. This is also possible for a wider class of subsets G, given that one imposes additionally convexity properties on the space. If the Banach space X is computably uniformly convex and G is convex, then one can compute the uniquely determined point in P_G(x). We also discuss representations of finite-dimensional subspaces of Banach spaces and we show that a basis representation contains the same information as the representation via distance functions enriched by the dimension. Finally, we study computability properties of the dimension and the codimension map and we show that for finite-dimensional spaces X the dimension is computable, given the distance function of the subspace.     

Compact holomorphic mappings on Banach spaces and the approximation property

Let $\text{H}$(E) be the space of complex valued holomorphic functions on a complex Banach space E. The approximation property for $\text{H}$(E), endowed with various natural locally convex topologies, is studied. For example, $\text{H}$(E) with the compact-open topology has the approximation property if and only if E has the approximation property. In order to characterize when $\text{H}$(E) has the approximation property for topologies other than the compact-open, the notion of a compact holomorphic map between Banach spaces in introduced and studied.     

Best Approximation in Numerical Radius

Let X be a reflexive Banach space. In this article, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an operator T ∈ 𝒦(X) to have the best approximation in numerical radius from the convex subset 𝒰 ? 𝒦(X), where 𝒦(X) denotes the set of all linear, compact operators from X into X. We also present an application to minimal extensions with respect to the numerical radius. In particular, some results on best approximation in norm are generalized to the case of the numerical radius.     

The Choquet integral representation in the affine vector-valued case

LetX be any compact convex subset of a locally convex Hausdorff space andE be a complex Banach space. We denote byA(X, E) the space of all continuous and affineE-valued functions defined onX. In this paper we prove thatX is a Choquet simplex if and only if the dual ofA(X, E) is isometrically isomorphic by a selection map toM _m (X, E*), the space ofE*-valued,w*-regular boundary measures onX. This extends and strengthens a result of G. M. Ustinov. To do this we show that for any compact convex setX, each element of the dual ofA(X, E) can be represented by a measure inM _m (X, E*) with the same norm, and this representation is unique if and only ifX is a Choquet simplex. We also prove that ifX is metrizable andE is separable then there exists a selection map from the unit ball of the dual ofA(X, E) into the unit ball ofM _m (X, E*) which is weak* to weak*-Borel measurable.This work will constitute a portion of the author's Ph.D. Thesis at the University of Illinois.     

Analytic and polyhedral approximation of convex bodies in separable polyhedral Banach spaces

A closed, convex and bounded setP in a Banach spaceE is called a polytope if every finite-dimensional section ofP is a polytope. A Banach spaceE is called polyhedral ifE has an equivalent norm such that its unit ball is a polytope. We prove here:

A Banach space in which all compact sets, but not all bounded sets, admit Chebyshev centers

Given a Banach spaceX, letc ₀(X) be the space of all null sequences inX (equipped with the supremum norm). We show that: 1) each compact set inc ₀(X) admits a (Chebyshev) center iff each compact set inX admits a center; 2) forX satisfying a certain condition (Q), each bounded set inc ₀(X) admits a center iffX is quasi uniformly rotund. We construct a Banach spaceX such that the compact subsets ofX admit centers,X satisfies the condition (Q) andX is not quasi uniformly rotund. It follows that the Banach spaceE=c ₀(X) has the property from the title. Eine überarbeitete Fassung ging am 4. 7. 2001 ein     

Compact and Weakly Compact Homomorphisms on Fréchet Algebras of Holomorphic Functions

We study homomorphisms between Fréchet algebras of holomorphic functions of bounded type. In this setting we prove that any pointwise bounded homomorphism into the space of entire functions of bounded type is rank one. We characterize up to the approximation property of the underlying Banach space, the weakly compact composition operators on H_b(V), V absolutely convex open set.     

The spectrum of an algebra of weakly continuous holomorphic mappings

Let U be an arbitrary absolutely convex open subset of a complex Banach space E and let F be a Banach algebra with identity. The spectrum of the algebra H_b(U, F) of the holomorphic mappings from U and F which are bounded on the U-bonded subsets of U is studied in case E′ has the approximation properly.     

Simultaneous approximation and interpolation in weighted spaces

In this paper we present a result about simultaneous approximation and interpolation in weighted spaces. It generalizes a result of Prolla in the space of continuous functionsC(X;E) whereX is a compact Hausdorff space andE is a normed space. As a consequence, we prove that simultaneous approximation and interpolation is possible from certain vector subspaces.     

The Jordan–von Neumann constants and fixed points for multivalued nonexpansive mappings

The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of fixed points for nonexpansive multivalued mappings in a particular class of Banach spaces. Furthermore, we demonstrate a relationship between the weakly convergent sequence coefficient WCS(X) and the Jordan–von Neumann constant C_NJ(X) of a Banach space X. Using this fact, we prove that if C_NJ(X) is less than an appropriate positive number, then every multivalued nonexpansive mapping has a fixed point where E is a nonempty weakly compact convex subset of a Banach space X, and KC(E) is the class of all nonempty compact convex subsets of E.     

On mackey convergence in locally convex spaces

After some introductory propositions, we give a dual characterization of those locally convex spaces which satisfy the Mackey convergence condition or the fast convergence condition by means of Schwartz topologies. Making use of the universal Schwartz space (l _∞ ,τ(l _∞ ,l ₁)) we prove some representation theorems for bornological and ultrabornological spaces, that is, every bornological spaceE is a dense subspace of an inductive limit lim indE _a, a∈A, ofseparable Banach spacesE _a, and every Mackey null sequence inE is a null sequence in someE _a. IfE is ultrabornological, thenE can be represented as lim indE _a,a∈A, allE _a separable Banach spaces, such that every fast null sequence inE is a null sequence in someE _a.     

Algebraic reflexivity of some subsets of the isometry group

Let X be a compact first countable space. In this paper we show that the set of isometries of C(X) that are involutions is algebraically reflexive. As a consequence of a recent work of Botelho and Jamison this leads to the conclusion that the set of generalized bi-circular projections on C(X) is also algebraically reflexive. We also consider these questions for the space C(X,E) where E is a uniformly convex Banach space.     

Structure of spaces ofC ∞-functions on nuclear spaces

LetE be a real nuclear locally convex space; we prove that the space ℰ_ub(E), of allC ^∞-functions of uniform bounded type onE, coincides with the inductive limit of the spaces ℰ_Nbc(E _v) (introduced by Nachbin-Dineen), whenV ranges over a basis of convex balanced 0-neighbourhoods inE. LetE be a real nuclear bornological vector space; we prove that the space ℰ(E) of allC ^∞-functions onE coincides with the projective limit of the spaces ℰ_Nbc(E _B), whenB is a closed convex balanced bounded subset ofE. As a consequence we obtain some density results and a version of the Paley-Wiener-Schwartz theorem.
