Abstract By a tiling of a topological linear space X, we mean a covering of X by at least two closed convex sets, called tiles, whose nonempty interiors are pairwise disjoint. Study of tilings of infinite dimensional spaceswas initiated in the 1980's with pioneer papers by V. Klee. We prove some general properties of tilings of locally convex spaces, and then apply these results to study the existence of tilings of normed and Banach spaces by tiles possessing certain smoothness or rotundity properties. For a Banach space X, our main results are the following. (i) X admits no tiling by Fréchet smooth bounded tiles. (ii) If X is locally uniformly rotund (LUR), it does not admit any tiling by balls. (iii) On the other hand, some spaces, г uncountable, do admit a tiling by pairwise disjoint LUR bounded tiles.

Introduction. One of the most satisfying theorems in the theory of convex sets states that a closed connected subset of a topological linear space which is locally convex is convex. This was first established in En by Tietze and was later extended by other authors (see (3)) to a topological linear space. A generalization of Tietze's theorem which appears in (2) shows if S is a closed subset of a topological linear space such that the set Q of points of local non-convexity of S is of cardinality n < ∞ and S ~ Q is connected, then S is the union of n + 1 or fewer convex sets. (The case n = 0 is Tietze's theorem.)

Given a family of pairwise disjoint convex sets S in the plane, a set [Formula: see text] is separated from a subset X ⊆ S if there exists a line l such that [Formula: see text] lies on one side of l and the sets in X lie on the other side. In this paper, we establish two combinatorial bounds related to the separation problem for families of n pairwise disjoint translates of a convex set in the plane: 1) there exists a line which separates one translate from at least [Formula: see text] translates, for some constant [Formula: see text] that depends only on the shape of the translates and 2) there is a function [Formula: see text], defined only by the shape of [Formula: see text], such that there exists a line with orientation Θ or [Formula: see text] which separates one translate from at least [Formula: see text] translates, for any orientation Θ. We also present an O(n log (n + k) + k) time algorithm for finding a translate which can be separated from the maximum number of translates amongst families of n pairwise disjoint translates of convex k-gons in the plane.

For a normed infinite-dimensional space, we prove that the family of all locally convex topologies which are compatible with the original norm topology has cardinality greater or equal to $\mathfrak{c}$.

The notion of statistical convergence of a sequence (xk) in a locally convex Hausdorff topological linear space X was introduced recently by Maddox[5], where it was shown that the slow oscillation of (sk) was a Tauberian condition for the statistical convergence of (sk).

This note proves two propositions on infinite doubly stochastic matrices, both of which already appear in the literature: one with an unnecessarily sophisticated proof (Kendall [2]) and the other with the incorrect assertion that the proof is trivial (Isbell [l]). Both are purely algebraic; so we are, if you like, in the linear space of all real doubly infinite matrices A = (aij).Proposition 1. Every extreme point of the convex set of ail doubly stochastic matrices is a permutation matrix.Kendall's proof of this depends on an ingenious choice of a topology and the Krein-Milman theorem for general locally convex spaces [2]. The following proof depends on practically nothing: for example, not on the axiom of choice.
