A strict maximum modulus theorem for certain Banach spaces

A strict maximum modulus theorem is proved for certain Banach spaces. As an application it is shown that ifAX=XA ^* withA hyponormal andX a member of any Schattenp-class withp≥1, thenA ^* X=XA.     

Nearly strict convexity in Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces

Criteria for nearly strict convexity of Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces equipped with the Luxemburg norm are given. We also prove that, in Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces generated by strictly convex Banach space, nearly strict convexity and strict convexity are equivalent.     

On uniform convexity of Banach spaces

This paper gives some relations and properties of several kinds of generalized convexity in Banach spaces. As a result, it proves that every kind of uniform convexity implies the Banach-Sakes property, and several notions of uniform convexity in literature are actually equivalent.     

关于Banach空间的强凸性

本文讨论强凸性、Ｌ－ｋＲ，ＬωＲ和（Ｇ）性质之间的关系，指出强凸性介于ＬωＲ和（Ｇ）性质之间，证明光滑的有（Ｇ）性质的Ｂａｎａｃｈ空间是强凸的，此外指出存在一个Ｂａｎａｃｈ空间Ｘ，它是ＬωＲ但对任意自然数ｋ，Ｘ不是Ｌ－ｋＲ．     

Criteria for convexity in Banach spaces

In this paper two convexity criteria are proven. The first one characterizes compact convex sets in a locally convex space and extends a previous result by G. Aumann, while the second one characterizes closed bounded convex sets with the Radon-Nikodým property in a Banach space.

     

On local convexity of nonlinear mappings between Banach spaces

We find conditions for a smooth nonlinear map f: U → V between open subsets of Hilbert or Banach spaces to be locally convex in the sense that for some c and each positive ? < c the image f(B _?(x)) of each ?-ball B _?(x) ? U is convex. We give a lower bound on c via the second order Lipschitz constant Lip₂(f), the Lipschitz-open constant Lip_o(f) of f, and the 2-convexity number conv₂(X) of the Banach space X.     

Gaussian characterizations of certain Banach spaces

The general form of characteristic functionals of Gaussian measures in spaces of type 2 and cotype 2 is found. Under the condition of existence of an unconditional basis this problem is solved for spaces not containing l_∞ⁿ uniformly. The solution uses the language of absolutely summing operators. For each of mentioned space classes it is shown that the results hold in them only. We consider also the equivalent problems on extension of a weak Gaussian distribution and convergence of Gaussian series. Some limit theorems are formulated.     

Weak convergence theorems for strict pseudo-contractions in Banach spaces

In this paper, it is shown that there is a gap in the paper [Chidume, C. E., Shahzad, N.: Weak convergence theorems for a finite family of strict pseudo-contractions. Nonlinear Anal., 72, 1257–1265(2010)], consequently, the main results of the paper do not hold in uniformly smooth Banach spaces. Meanwhile, it is also shown that the main results(Lemma 3.4, Theorems 3.5–3.6, 3.8–3.9) in the paper [Cholamjiak, P., Suantai, S.: Weak convergence theorems for a countable family of strict pseudo-contractions in Banach spaces. Fixed Point Theory Appl., 2010, Article ID 632137, 16 pages(2010)] do not hold in Lpfor p 3. Finally, some modified results are presented in the setting of uniformly smooth and uniformly convex Banach spaces which include Lpfor p ≥ 2 as special cases. Furthermore, our arguments are also different from the ones given by the authors above.     

Uniqueness of preduals of certain Banach spaces

In [1], the authors have shown the existence of non-quasireflexive Banach spaces having unique isomorphic preduals. In fact, certain James-Lindenstrauss’ spaces have this property. In this paper it is shown that there are many such separable spaces. More precisely, there exist infinitely many different isomorphic types of James-Lindenstrauss’ spaces which are non-quasireflexive and have unique isomorphic preduals. The research of both authors was partially supported by N.S.F. Grant No. MPS75-07115     

The integral convexity of sets and functionals in Banach spaces

By way of the Bochner integral of vector-valued functions, the integral convexity of sets and functionals and the concept of integral extreme points of sets are introduced in Banach spaces. The relations between integral convexity and convexity are mainly discussed, two integral extreme points theorems and their applications are obtained at last.     

Mean inequalities in certain Banach function spaces

Boundedness of the Hardy operator and its adjoint is characterized between Banach function spaces Xq and Lp. By applying a limiting procedure, corresponding boundedness of the geometric mean operator is also derived.     

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.     

Near convexity,near smoothness and approximative compactness of half spaces in Banach spaces

The authors discuss the dual relation of nearly very convexity and property WS. By two kinds of near convexities and two kinds of near smoothness, the authors prove a series of characterizations such that every half-space in Banach space X and every weak* half-space in the dual space X* are approximatively weakly compact and approximatively compact. They show a sufficient condition such that a Banach space X is a Asplund space. Using upper semi-continuity of duality mapping, the authors also give two characterizations of property WS and property S.
