We introduce a framework for a nonlinear potential theory without a kernel on a reflexive, strictly convex and smooth Banach space of functions. Nonlinear potentials are defined as images of nonnegative continuous linear functionals on that space under the duality mapping. We study potentials and reduced functions by using a variant of the Gauss-Frostman quadratic functional. The framework allows a development of other main concepts of nonlinear potential theory such as capacities, equilibrium potentials and measures of finite energy.

A real Jordan algebra which is also a Banach space with a norm which satisfiesfor each pair a, b of elements, is said to be a JB-algebra. A JB-algebra which is also a Banach dual space is said to be a JBW-algebra.

If (X, g) is a paranormed space, with paranorm g (see (2)), then we denote by X* the continuous dual of X, i.e. the set of all continuous linear functionals on X. If E is a set of complex sequences x = (xk) then E† will denote the generalized Köthe–Toeplitz dual of E

Abstract In this paper, we ⊥ B J C ϵ -orthogonality and explore ⊥ B J C ϵ -symmetricity such as a ⊥ B J C ϵ -left-symmetric ( ⊥ B J C ϵ -right-symmetric) of a vector x in a real Banach space (𝕏, ‖·‖𝕩) and study the relation between a ⊥ B J C ϵ -right-symmetric ( ⊥ B J C ϵ -left-symmetric) in ℐ(x). New results and proofs are include the notion of norm attainment set of a continuous linear functionals on a reflexive and strictly convex Banach space and using these results to characterize a smoothness of a vector in a unit sphere.

In this paper we prove that the states of a unital Banach algebra generate the dual Banach space as a linear space (Theorem 2). This is a result of R. T. Moore (4, Theorem 1(a)) who uses a decomposition of measures in his proof. In the proof given here the measure theory is replaced by a Hahn-Banach separation argument. We shall let A denote a unital Banach algebra over the complex field, and D(1) denote {f ∈ A′: ‖f‖ = f(1) = 1} where A′ is the dual of A. The motivation of Moore's results is the theorem that in a C*-algebra every continuous linear functional is a linear combination of four states (the states are the elements of D(1)) (see (2, 2.6.4, 2.1.9, 1.1.10)).

Let X be an F-space (complete metric linear space) and suppose g:[0, 1] → X is a continuous map. Suppose that g has zero derivative on [0, 1], i.e.for 0≤t≤1 (we take the left and right derivatives at the end points). Then, if X is locally convex or even if it merely possesses a separating family of continuous linear functionals, we can conclude that g is constant by using the Mean Value Theorem. If however X* = {0} then it may happen that g is not constant; for example, let X = Lp(0, 1) (0≤p≤1) and g(t) = l[0,t] (0≤t≤1) (the characteristic function of [0, t]). This example is due to Rolewicz [6], [7; p. 116].

Let X be a complex Banach space. We denote by X* the dual space of X and by B(X) the space of all bounded linear operators on X. The (spatial) numerical range of an operator TεB(X) is defined as the setIf V(T) ⊂ ℝ, then T is called hermitian. More about numerical ranges may be found in [8] and [9].

A formal series Σxn in a Banach space X is said to be weakly unconditionally converging, or alternatively weakly unconditionally Cauchy (wuc) if Σ|x*(xn)| < ∞ for every continuous linear functional x* ∈ X*. A subset K of X* is called a V-subset of X* iffor each wuc series Σxn in X. Further, the Banach space X is said to have property (V) if the V-subsets of X* coincide with the relatively weakly compact subsets of X*. In a fundamental paper in 1962, Pelczynski [10] showed that the Banach space X has property (V) if and only if every unconditionally converging operator with domain X is weakly compact. In this same paper, Pelczynski also showed that all C(Ω) spaces have property (V), and asked if the abstract continuous function space C(Ω, X) has property (F) whenever X has property (F).

Let A be a commutative Banach algebra with identity 1 over the complex field C, and let d0 be a character on A. We recall that a (higher) point derivation of order q on A at d0 is a sequence d1, …, dq of linear functionals on A such that the identitieshold for each choice of f and g in A and k in {1, …, q}. A point derivation of infinite order is an infinite sequence {dk} of linear functionals such that (1.1) holds for all k. A point derivation is continuous if each dk is continuous, totally discontinuous if dk is discontinuous for each k≧1, and degenerate if d1 = 0.

A necessary and sufficient condition to extend a continuous linear real functionals which is positive with respect to a semi-group defined on a subspace of a linear space is discussed in this paper. The case of a closed subspace of a Banach space is also discussed.
