Open Problems

In this paper we adopt the notion of orthogonality in Banach spaces introduced by the author in [6]. There, the author showed that in any two-dimensional subspace F of E, every nonzero element admits at most one orthogonal direction. The problem of existence of such orthogonal direction was not addressed before. Our main purpose in this paper is the investigation of this problem in the case where E is a real Banach space. As a result we obtain a characterisation of Hilbert spaces stating that, if in every two-dimensional subspace F of E every nonzero element admits an orthogonal direction, then E is isometric to a Hilbert space. We conclude by presenting some open problems.

Let X be a real Banach space. According to von Neumann's famous geometrical characterization X is a Hilbert space if and only if for all x, y ∈ XThus Hilbert space is distinguished among all real Banach spaces by a certain uniform behavior of the set of all two dimensional subspaces. A related characterization of real Lp spaces can be given in terms of uniform behavior of all two dimensional subspaces and a Boolean algebra of norm-1 projections [16]. For an arbitrary space X, one way of measuring the “uniformity” of the set of two dimensional subspaces is in terms of the real valued modulus of rotundity, i.e. for The space is said to be uniformly rotund if for each 0 we have .

Derivative Of A Polynomial

In this work we generalize Markov's inequality for any derivative of a polynomial on a real Hilbert space and provide estimates for the second and third derivatives of a polynomial on a real Banach space. Our result on a real Hilbert space answers a question raised by L. A. Harris in his commentary on problem 74 in the Scottish Book [20]. We also provide generalizations of previously obtained inequalities of the Bernstein and Markov-type for polynomials with curved majorants on a real Hilbert space.

Space Property

A Banach space X is called a twisted sum of the Banach spaces Y and Z if it has a subspace isomorphic to Y such that the corresponding quotient is isomorphic to Z. A twisted Hilbert space is a twisted sum of Hilbert spaces. We prove the following tongue-twister: there exists a twisted sum of two subspaces of a twisted Hilbert space that is not isomorphic to a subspace of a twisted Hilbert space. In other words, being a subspace of a twisted Hilbert space is not a three-space property.

Abstract Let X be a real Banach space. The rectangular constant $\mu (X)$ and some generalisations of it, $\mu _p(X)$ for $p \geq 1$ , were introduced by Gastinel and Joly around half a century ago. In this paper we make precise some characterisations of inner product spaces by using $\mu _p(X)$ , correcting some statements appearing in the literature, and extend to $\mu _p(X)$ some characterisations of uniformly nonsquare spaces, known only for $\mu (X)$ . We also give a characterisation of two-dimensional spaces with hexagonal norms. Finally, we indicate some new upper estimates concerning $\mu (l_p)$ and $\mu _p(l_p)$ .

Dimensional Normed Space

We show that if a three dimensional normed space X has two linearly independent smooth points e and f such that every two-dimensional subspace containing e or f is the range of a nonexpansive projection then X is isometrically isomorphic to ℓp(3) for some p, 1 < p ≤ ∞. This leads to a characterisation of the Banach spaces c0 and ℓp, 1 < p ≤ ∞, and a characterisation of real Hilbert spaces.

Group Of Isometries

AbstractGiven a separable Banach space E, we construct an extremely non-complex Banach space (i.e. a space satisfying that ‖ Id + T2 ‖ = 1 + ‖ T2 ‖ for every bounded linear operator T on it) whose dual contains E* as an L-summand. We also study surjective isometries on extremely non-complex Banach spaces and construct an example of a real Banach space whose group of surjective isometries reduces to ±Id, but the group of surjective isometries of its dual contains the group of isometries of a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space as a subgroup.

Let X i , Y i i = 1,2 be Banach spaces. The operator matrix of the form M C = A C 0 B acting between X 1 ⊕ X 2 and Y 1 ⊕ Y 2 is investigated. By using row and column operators, equivalent conditions are obtained for M C to be left Weyl, right Weyl, and Weyl for some C ∈ ℬ X 2 , Y 1 , respectively. Based on these results, some sufficient conditions are also presented. As applications, some discussions on Hamiltonian operators are given in the context of Hilbert spaces.

Weakly Compact Sets

In a Banach space, the directional modulus of rotundity, δ (ϵ, z), measures the minimum depth at which the midpoints of all chords of the unit ball which are parallel to z and of length at least ϵ are buried beneath the surface. A Banach space is uniformly rotund in every direction (URED) if δ (ϵ, z) is positive for every positive ϵ and every nonzero element z. This concept of directionalized uniform rotundity was introduced by Garkavi [6] to characterize those Banach spaces in which every bounded subset has at most one Čebyšev center.

We introduce and analysis Mann-type iterative algorithm with errors and Halpern-type iterative algorithms with errors. Weak and strong convergence theorems are established in a real Banach space. As applications, we consider the problem of approximating a minimizer of a proper lower semicontinuous convex function in a real Hilbert space
