Mean-Value Theorem with Small Subdifferentials

We prove a mean-value theorem for lower semicontinuous functions on a large class of Banach spaces which contains the class of Asplund spaces, in particular reflexive Banach spaces and Banach spaces with a separable dual. It involves the lower subdifferential (or contingent subdifferential) and the Fréchet subdifferentials, which are among the smallest subdifferentials known to date. It follows that the estimates which it provides require weak assumptions and are accurate. When the function is locally Lipschitzian, we get a simple statement which refines the Lebourg mean-value theorem.     

Frame expansions in separable Banach spaces

Banach frames are defined by straightforward generalization of (Hilbert space) frames. We characterize Banach frames (and Xd-frames) in separable Banach spaces, and relate them to series expansions in Banach spaces. In particular, our results show that we can not expect Banach frames to share all the nice properties of frames in Hilbert spaces.     

Orthogonal sequences and regularity of embeddings into finite-dimensional spaces

This paper focuses on the regularity of linear embeddings of finite-dimensional subsets of Hilbert and Banach spaces into Euclidean spaces. We study orthogonal sequences in a Hilbert space H, whose elements tend to zero, and similar sequences in the space c₀ of null sequences. The examples studied show that the results due to Hunt and Kaloshin (Regularity of embeddings of infinite-dimensional fractal sets into finite-dimensional spaces, Nonlinearity 12 (1999) 1263-1275) and Robinson (Linear embeddings of finite-dimensional subsets of Banach spaces into Euclidean spaces, Nonlinearity 22 (2009) 711-728) for subsets of Hilbert and Banach spaces with finite box-counting dimension are asymptotically sharp. An analogous argument allows us to obtain a lower bound for the power of the logarithmic correction term in an embedding theorem proved by Olson and Robinson (Almost bi-Lipschitz embeddings and almost homogeneous sets, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 362 (1) (2010) 145-168) for subsets X of Hilbert spaces when X−X has finite Assouad dimension.     

A note on banach partial *-algebras

A Banach partial *-algebra is a locally convex partial *-algebra whose total space is a Banach space. A Banach partial *-algebra is said to be of type (B) if it possesses a generating family of multiplier spaces that are also Banach spaces. We describe the basic properties of such objects and display a number of examples, namely L ^p -like function spaces and spaces of operators on Hilbert scales.     

Banach spaces with projectional skeletons

A projectional skeleton in a Banach space is a σ-directed family of projections onto separable subspaces, covering the entire space. The class of Banach spaces with projectional skeletons is strictly larger than the class of Plichko spaces (i.e. Banach spaces with a countably norming Markushevich basis). We show that every space with a projectional skeleton has a projectional resolution of the identity and has a norming space with similar properties to Σ-spaces. We characterize the existence of a projectional skeleton in terms of elementary substructures, providing simple proofs of known results concerning weakly compactly generated spaces and Plichko spaces. We prove a preservation result for Plichko Banach spaces, involving transfinite sequences of projections. As a corollary, we show that a Banach space is Plichko if and only if it has a commutative projectional skeleton.     

Isomorphic Schauder decompositions in certain Banach spaces

We extend a theorem of Kato on similarity for sequences of projections in Hilbert spaces to the case of isomorphic Schauder decompositions in certain Banach spaces. To this end we use ?_ψ-Hilbertian and ∞-Hilbertian Schauder decompositions instead of orthogonal Schauder decompositions, generalize the concept of an orthogonal Schauder decomposition to the case of Banach spaces and introduce the class of Banach spaces with Schauder-Orlicz decompositions. Furthermore, we generalize the notions of type, cotype, infratype and M-cotype of a Banach space and study the properties of unconditional Schauder decompositions in Banach spaces possessing certain geometric structure.     

Strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces

This paper firstly discusses the existence of strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces. It shows that there exist strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces with w*-separable dual. It also gives some properties of strongly irreducible operators on Banach spaces. In particular, if T is a strongly irreducible operator on an infinite-dimensional Banach space, then T is not of finite rank and T is not an algebraic operator. On Banach spaces with subsymmetric bases, including infinite-dimensional separable Hilbert spaces, it shows that quasisimilarity does not preserve strong irreducibility. In addition, we show that the strong irreducibility of an operator does not imply the strong irreducibility of its conjugate operator, which is not the same as the property in Hilbert spaces.     

Lower Semicontinuity for Parametric Weak Vector Variational Inequalities in Reflexive Banach Spaces

In this paper, we study the solution stability of parametric weak Vector Variational Inequalities with set-valued and single-valued mappings, respectively. We obtain the lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping for the parametric set-valued weak Vector Variational Inequality with strictly C-pseudomapping in reflexive Banach spaces. Moreover, under some requirements that the mapping satisfies the degree conditions, we establish the lower semicontinuity of the solution mapping for a parametric single-valued weak Vector Variational Inequality in reflexive Banach spaces, by using the degree-theoretic approach. The results presented in this paper improve and extend some known results due to Kien and Yao (Set-Valued Anal. 16:399–412, 2008) and Wong (J. Glob. Optim. 46:435–446, 2010).     

Fusion frames and <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-frames in Banach spaces

Fusion frames and g-frames in Hilbert spaces are generalizations of frames, and frames were extended to Banach spaces. In this article we introduce fusion frames, g-frames, Banach g-frames in Banach spaces and we show that they share many useful properties with their corresponding notions in Hilbert spaces. We also show that g-frames, fusion frames and Banach g-frames are stable under small perturbations and invertible operators.     

Characterization of BMO in terms of rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces

The atomic decomposition of Hardy spaces by atoms defined by rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces is proved in this paper. Using this decomposition, we obtain the characterizations of BMO and Lipschitz spaces by rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces. We also provide the sharp function characterization of the rearrangement-invariant Banach function spaces.     

A Characterization of l + 1(Γ)

In this article we give necessary and sufficient conditions in order a closed cone of a Banach space E to be isomorphic to the positive cone l ₁ ⁺(Γ) of an l ₁(Γ) space. This problem has applications in the theory of Banach spaces as in the characterization of reflexive spaces and also on the problem of the embeddability of 1in Banach spaces.     

Banach Spaces with the PC Property

A Banach space X possesses the PC (point of continuity) property if for any w-closed bounded subset A ? X the identity map (A,w)→(A, ∥ ? ∥) has a point of continuity (w is the weak topology in X). We deduce some criteria for Banach spaces to have the PC property and describe (for dual Banach spaces) relationships between spaces possessing the PC property and spaces possessing the RN or the WRN property.

     

Real and complex interpolation methods for finite and infinite families of Banach spaces

A comparative study is made of the various interpolation spaces generated with respect to n-tuples or infinite families of compatible Banach spaces by real and complex interpolation methods due to Sparr, Favini-Lions, Coifman-Cwikel-Rochberg-Sagher-Weiss, and Fernandez. Certain inclusions are established between these spaces and examples are given showing that in general they do not coincide. It is also shown that, in contrast to the case of couples of spaces, the spaces generated by the above methods may depend on the structure of the containing space in which the Banach spaces of the n-tuple (nϵ 3) or infinite family are embedded. Finally a construction is given which enables the spaces of Sparr and Favini-Lions, hitherto defined only with respect to n-tuples, to also be defined with respect to infinite families of Banach spaces.     

On Banach spaces whose norm-open sets are -sets in the weak topology

We investigate non-separable Banach spaces whose norm-open sets are countable unions of sets closed in the weak topology and a narrower class of Banach spaces with a network for the norm topology which is σ-discrete in the weak topology. In particular, we answer a question of Arhangel'skii exhibiting various examples of non-separable function spaces C(K) with a σ-discrete network for the pointwise topology and (consistently) we answer some questions of Edgar and Oncina concerning Borel structures and Kadec renormings in Banach spaces.     

The split common fixed point problem for generalized demimetric mappings in two Banach spaces

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we consider the split common fixed point problem for new demimetric mappings in two Banach spaces. Using the hybrid method, we prove a strong convergence theorem for finding a solution of the split common fixed point problem in two Banach spaces. Furthermore, using the shrinking projection method, we obtain another strong convergence theorem for finding a solution of the problem in two Banach spaces. Using these results, we obtain well-known and new strong convergence theorems in Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces.     

Genericity and amalgamation of classes of Banach spaces

We study universality problems in Banach space theory. We show that if A is an analytic class, in the Effros-Borel structure of subspaces of C([0,1]), of non-universal separable Banach spaces, then there exists a non-universal separable Banach space Y, with a Schauder basis, that contains isomorphs of each member of A with the bounded approximation property. The proof is based on the amalgamation technique of a class C of separable Banach spaces, introduced in the paper. We show, among others, that there exists a separable Banach space R not containing L¹(0,1) such that the indices β and rND are unbounded on the set of Baire-1 elements of the ball of the double dual R∗∗ of R. This answers two questions of H.P. Rosenthal.We also introduce the concept of a strongly bounded class of separable Banach spaces. A class C of separable Banach spaces is strongly bounded if for every analytic subset A of C there exists Y∈C that contains all members of A up to isomorphism. We show that several natural classes of separable Banach spaces are strongly bounded, among them the class of non-universal spaces with a Schauder basis, the class of reflexive spaces with a Schauder basis, the class of spaces with a shrinking Schauder basis and the class of spaces with Schauder basis not containing a minimal Banach space X.     

Exterior algebra of a Banach space

As far as we know, the exterior product with any norm has not been studied for Banach spaces. Especially, no studies have been done on Grassmann manifolds in Banach spaces. We think it is important to study these because simple m-vectors can be thought of as m-dimensional subspaces scaled in some way according to our work. We hope Banach space norms of simple m-vectors will yield metric information about their associated subspaces. In fact, this is the case with m-uniform convexity and m-uniform rotundity which are associated with area (in Banach spaces).     

On a generalized Mazur-Ulam question: Extension of isometries between unit spheres of Banach spaces

We call a Banach space X admitting the Mazur-Ulam property (MUP) provided that for any Banach space Y, if f is an onto isometry between the two unit spheres of X and Y, then it is the restriction of a linear isometry between the two spaces. A generalized Mazur-Ulam question is whether every Banach space admits the MUP. In this paper, we show first that the question has an affirmative answer for a general class of Banach spaces, namely, somewhere-flat spaces. As their immediate consequences, we obtain on the one hand that the question has an approximately positive answer: Given ε>0, every Banach space X admits a (1+ε)-equivalent norm such that X has the MUP; on the other hand, polyhedral spaces, CL-spaces admitting a smooth point (in particular, separable CL-spaces) have the MUP.     

Even infinite-dimensional real Banach spaces

This article is a continuation of a paper of the first author [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] about complex structures on real Banach spaces. We define a notion of even infinite-dimensional real Banach space, and prove that there exist even spaces, including HI or unconditional examples from [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] and C(K) examples due to Plebanek [G. Plebanek, A construction of a Banach space C(K) with few operators, Topology Appl. 143 (2004) 217–239]. We extend results of [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] relating the set of complex structures up to isomorphism on a real space to a group associated to inessential operators on that space, and give characterizations of even spaces in terms of this group. We also generalize results of [V. Ferenczi, Uniqueness of complex structure and real hereditarily indecomposable Banach spaces, Adv. Math. 213 (1) (2007) 462–488] about totally incomparable complex structures to essentially incomparable complex structures, while showing that the complex version of a space defined by S. Argyros and A. Manoussakis [S. Argyros, A. Manoussakis, An indecomposable and unconditionally saturated Banach space, Studia Math. 159 (1) (2003) 1–32] provides examples of essentially incomparable complex structures which are not totally incomparable.     

Natural examples of Valdivia compact spaces

We collect examples of Valdivia compact spaces, their continuous images and associated classes of Banach spaces which appear naturally in various branches of mathematics. We focus on topological constructions generating Valdivia compact spaces, linearly ordered compact spaces, compact groups, L¹ spaces, Banach lattices and noncommutative L¹ spaces.
