Separated sequences in nonreflexive Banach spaces

We prove that there is 1$"> such that the unit ball of any nonreflexive Banach space contains a -separated sequence. The supremum of these constants is estimated from below by and from above approximately by . Given any 1$">, we also construct a nonreflexive space so that if the convex hull of a sequence is sufficiently close to the unit sphere, then its separation constant does not exceed .

     

Hausdorff measure of noncompactness of certain matrix operators on the sequence spaces of generalized means

In the present paper, we derive some identities or estimates for the operator norms and the Hausdorff measures of noncompactness of certain matrix operators on the sequence spaces of generalized means. Further, by applying the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for such operators to be compact.     

The relative Chebyshev centers of finite sets in geodesic spaces

In the present paper we estimate variation in the relative Chebyshev radius R _W (M), where M and W are nonempty bounded sets of a metric space, as the sets M and W change. We find the closure and the interior of the set of all N-nets each of which contains its unique relative Chebyshev center, in the set of all N-nets of a special geodesic space endowed by the Hausdorff metric. We consider various properties of relative Chebyshev centers of a finite set which lie in this set.     

Hausdorff dimension and doubling measures on metric spaces

Volberg and Konyagin have proved that a compact metric space carries a nontrivial doubling measure if and only if it has finite uniform metric dimension. Their construction of doubling measures requires infinitely many adjustments. We give a simpler and more direct construction, and also prove that for any , the doubling measure may be chosen to have full measure on a set of Hausdorff dimension at most .

     

Some results on monotone metric spaces

We present some new results on monotone metric spaces. We prove that every bounded 1-monotone metric space in R^d${\mathbb{R}}^d$ has a finite 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. As a consequence we obtain that each continuous bounded curve in R^d${\mathbb{R}}^d$ has a finite length if and only if it can be written as a finite sum of 1-monotone continuous bounded curves. Next we construct a continuous function f such that M   has a zero Lebesgue measure provided the graph(f|M)$\mathrm{graph}(f|M)$ is a monotone set in the plane. We finally construct a differentiable function with a monotone graph and unbounded variation.     

On a problem of Rolewicz about Banach spaces that admit support sets

We construct an example of a nonseparable Banach space which does not admit a support set.² It is a consistent (and necessarily independent from the axioms of ZFC) example of a space C(K) of continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff K with the supremum norm. The construction depends on a construction of a Boolean algebra with some combinatorial properties. The space is also hereditarily Lindelöf in the weak topology but it doesn't have any nonseparable subspace nor any nonseparable quotient which is a C(K) space for K dispersed.     

Measures of noncompactness and essential pseudospectra on Banach space

In this research article, we work with the notion of the measures of noncompactness in order to establish some results concerning the essential pseudospectra of closed, densely defined linear operators in the Banach space. We start by giving a refinement of the definition of the essential pseudospectra by means of the measure of noncompactness, and we give sufficient conditions on the perturbed operator to have its invariance.

On some measures of noncompactness in the Fréchet spaces of continuous functions

In this paper, the Fréchet spaces of continuous functions defined on a bounded or an unbounded interval, with values in the space of all real sequences, are considered. For those Fréchet spaces new regular measures of noncompactness are constructed and several properties of these measures are established. The results obtained are further applied to infinite systems of functional-integral equations.     

On decompositions of Banach spaces of continuous functions on Mrówka's spaces

It is well known that if is infinite compact Hausdorff and scattered (i.e., with no perfect subsets), then the Banach space of continuous functions on has complemented copies of , i.e., . We address the question if this could be the only type of decompositions of into infinite-dimensional summands for infinite, scattered. Making a special set-theoretic assumption such as the continuum hypothesis or Martin's axiom we construct an example of Mrówka's space (i.e., obtained from an almost disjoint family of sets of positive integers) which answers positively the above question.

     

Finite-codimensional Chebyshev subspaces in the complex spaceC(Q)

We consider finite-condimensional Chebyshev subspaces in the complex spaceC(Q), whereQ is a compact Hausdorff space, and prove analogs of some theorems established earlier for the real case by Garkavi and Brown (in particular, we characterize such subspaces). It is shown that if the real spaceC(Q) contains finite-codimensional Chebyshev subspaces, then the same is true of the complex spaceC(Q) (with the sameQ).

On graph measures in banach spaces and description of essential spectra of multidimensional transport equation

In this paper, we define new measures called respectively graph measure of noncompactness and graph measure of weak noncompactness. Moreover, we apply the obtained results to discuss the incidence of some perturbation results realized in [2] on the behavior of essential spectra of such closed densely defined linear operators on Banach spaces. These results are exploited to investigate the essential spectra of a multidimensional neutron transport operator on L₁ spaces.     

L p theory for semilinear nonlocal problems with measure of noncompactness in separable Banach spaces

We study the existence of mild solutions for semilinear differential equations with nonlocal initial conditions in a separable Banach space X. We derive conditions in terms of the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness under which mild solutions exist in L^p(0, b; X). For illustration, a partial integral differential system is worked out. Dedicated to Felix Browder on his 80th birthday     

Countable compact Hausdorff spaces need not be metrizable in ZF

We show that the existence of a countable, first countable, zero-dimensional, compact Hausdorff space which is not second countable, hence not metrizable, is consistent with ZF.

     

Local dual spaces of Banach spaces of vector-valued functions

We show that is a local dual of , and is a local dual of , where is a Banach space. A local dual space of a Banach space is a subspace of so that we have a local representation of in satisfying the properties of the representation of in provided by the principle of local reflexivity.

     

On some measures of noncompactness in the space of continuous functions

We consider some quantities in the space of functions continuous on a bounded interval, which are related to monotonicity of functions. Based on those quantities we construct a few measures of noncompactness in the mentioned function space. Several properties of those measures are established; among others it is shown that they are regular or “partly” regular measures and equivalent to the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness.     

Spectra and essential spectral radii of composition operators on weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions

We determine the spectra of composition operators acting on weighted Banach spaces of analytic functions on the unit disc defined for a radial weight v, when the symbol of the operator has a fixed point in the open unit disc. We also investigate in this case the growth rate of the Koenigs eigenfunction and its relation with the essential spectral radius of the composition operator.     

Theoretical study of a class of $\zeta$-Caputo fractional differential equations in a Banach space

A study of an important class of nonlinear fractional differential equations driven by $\zeta$-Caputo type derivative in a Banach space framework is presented. The classical Banach contraction principle associated with the Bielecki-type norm and a fixed-point theorem with respect to convex-power condensing operators are used to achieve some existence results. Two illustrative examples are provided to justify the theoretical results.
