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 $\mu _p(l_p)$ .

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.

The aim of this paper is to prove the following result: if X is a 2-dimensional symmetric real Banach space, then its self-length is greater than or equal to 2π. Moreover, the minimum value 2π is uniquely attained (up to isometries) by euclidean space.

We present a characterization of complete inner product spaces using en involution on the set of all bounded linear operators on a Banach space. As a metric conditions we impose a “multiplicative” property of the norm for hermitain operators. In the second part we present a simpler proof (we believe) of the Kakutani and Mackney theorem on the characterizations of complete inner product spaces. Our proof was suggested by an ingenious proof of a similar result obtained by N. Prijatelj.

Abstract In this paper, we prove the hyperstability of the following mixed additive-quadratic-Jensen functional equation $$2f({{x + y} \over 2}) + f({{x - y} \over 2}) + f({{y - x} \over 2}) = f(x) + f(y)$$ in the class of functions from an 2-divisible abelian group G into a Banach space.

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 .

We give a geometric characterization of inner product spaces among all finite dimensional real Banach spaces via concurrent chords of their spheres. Namely, let x be an arbitrary interior point of a ball of a finite dimensional normed linear space X. If the locus of the midpoints of all chords of that ball passing through x is a homothetical copy of the unit sphere of X, then the space X is Euclidean. Two further characterizations of the Euclidean case are given by considering parallel chords of 2-sections through the midpoints of balls.

LetV,Wbe real vector spaces. It is shown that an odd mappingf:V→Wsatisfies∑i−12nf(xi−1/2n∑j=12nxj)=∑i=12nf(xi)−2nf(1/2n∑i=12nxi)for allx1,…,x2n∈Vif and only if the odd mappingf:V→Wis Cauchy additive. Furthermore, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the above functional equation in real Banach spaces.

We investigate the Hyers–Ulam stability of the well-known Fréchet functional equation that comes from a characterization of inner product spaces. We also show its hyperstability on a restricted domain. We work in the framework of quasi-Banach spaces. In the proof, a fixed point theorem due to Dung and Hang, which is an extension of a fixed point theorem in Banach spaces, plays a main role.

AbstractWe have proved theHyers-Ulam stability and the hyperstability of the quadratic functional equation f (x + y + z) + f (x + y − z) + f (x − y + z) + f (−x + y + z) = 4[f (x) + f (y) + f (z)] in the class of functions from an abelian group G into a Banach space.
