Pythagorean euclidean four point properties

Characterizations of real inner product spaces among a class of metric spaces have been obtained based on homogeneity of metric pythagorean orthogonality, a metrization of the concept of pythagorean orthogonality as defined in normed linear spaces. In the present paper a considerable weakening of this hypothesis is shown to characterize real inner product spaces among complete, convex, externally convex metric spaces, generalizing a result of Kapoor and Prasad [9], and providing a connection with the many characterizations of such spaces using euclidean four point properties.     

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.     

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].     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Strongly convex set-valued maps

We introduce the notion of strongly $t$ -convex set-valued maps and present some properties of it. In particular, a Bernstein–Doetsch and Sierpiński-type theorems for strongly midconvex set-valued maps, as well as a Kuhn-type result are obtained. A representation of strongly $t$ -convex set-valued maps in inner product spaces and a characterization of inner product spaces involving this representation is given. Finally, a connection between strongly convex set-valued maps and strongly convex sets is presented.     

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.

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．     

Convex hull properties in location theory

We present new characterizations of inner product spaces which bring into play a property of a family of optimization problems related to the norm of the space. This property concerns the existence of a solution .to some optimization problems which belongs to the convex hull of some set. We thus obtain a generalization of results of V. Klee and A. Garkavi about the Chebychev centers and also of more recent results of the author about Fermat points. Intermediate propositions concerning unicity in some optimization problems, a geometric characterization of finite dimensional inner product spaces and monotone norms seem to have their own interest.     

Some new results on ε-Tensor products of locally convex spaces

The paper contains the proofs of three new propositions on ε-Tensor products of locally convex spaces. The first two of these propositions are on the ε-tensor product of inductive limits of locally convex spaces. The third proposition is on integral bilinear forms. For inductive tensor products and π-tensor products, some results on properties of permanence appear in A. Grothendieck’s famous thesis. We prove, in the present paper, some properties of permanence of ε-tensor products.     

Proper Efficiency in Locally Convex Topological Vector Spaces

We present a general treatment of proper efficiency, which was originally given in normed vector spaces; we introduce a new kind of efficiency in locally convex topological vector spaces. We examine the relationships among these efficiencies. As an application, we prove a strong Ekeland variational principle.     

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.     

Linear Operators Generated by a Countable Number of Quasi-differential Expressions

The theory of linear ordinary quasi-differential operators has been considered in Lebesgue locally integrable spaces on a single interval of the real line. Such spaces are not Banach spaces but can be considered as complete, locally convex, linear topological spaces where the topology is derived from a countable family of semi-norms. The first conjugate space can also be defined as a complete, locally convex, linear topological space but now with the topology derived as a strict inductive limit. This article extends the previous single interval results to the case when a finite or countable number of intervals of the real line is considered. Conjugate and preconjugate linear quasi-differential operators are defined and relationships between these operators are developed.     

Cone complementarity problems with finite solution sets

We introduce the notion of a complementary cone and a nondegenerate linear transformation and characterize the finiteness of the solution set of a linear complementarity problem over a closed convex cone in a finite dimensional real inner product space. In addition to the above, other geometrical properties of complementary cones have been explored.     

Locating subsets of a Hilbert space

This paper deals with locatedness of convex subsets in inner product and Hilbert spaces which plays a crucial role in the constructive validity of many important theorems of analysis.

     

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.     

Partial inner product spaces and semi-inner product spaces

A comparison is made between the two objects mentioned in the title. Connections between them are threefold: (i) both are particular instances of dual pairs of locally convex spaces; (ii) many partial inner product spaces consist of chains or lattices of semi-inner product spaces; (iii) the basic structure behind both of them is that of Galois connections. A number of common open problems are described.
