The Ptolemy and Zbăganu constants of normed spaces
2010
Abstract In every inner product space H the Ptolemy inequality holds: the product of the diagonals of a quadrilateral is less than or equal to the sum of the products of the opposite sides. In other words, ‖ x − y ‖ ‖ z − w ‖ ≤ ‖ x − z ‖ ‖ y − w ‖ + ‖ z − y ‖ ‖ x − w ‖ for any points w , x , y , z in H . It is known that for each normed space ( X , ‖ ⋅ ‖ ) , there exists a constant C such that for any w , x , y , z ∈ X , we have ‖ x − y ‖ ‖ z − w ‖ ≤ C ( ‖ x − z ‖ ‖ y − w ‖ + ‖ z − y ‖ ‖ x − w ‖ ) . The smallest such C is called the Ptolemy constant of X and is denoted by C P ( X ) . We study the relationships between this constant and the geometry of the space X , and hence with metric fix…
Hausdorff measures, Hölder continuous maps and self-similar fractals
1993
Let f: A → ℝn be Hölder continuous with exponent α, 0 < α ≼ 1, where A ⊂ ℝm has finite m-dimensional Lebesgue measure. Then, as is easy to see and well-known, the s-dimensional Hausdorif measure HS(fA) is finite for s = m/α. Many fractal-type sets fA also have positive Hs measure. This is so for example if m = 1 and f is a natural parametrization of the Koch snow flake curve in ℝ2. Then s = log 4/log 3 and α = log 3/log 4. In this paper we study the question of what s-dimensional sets in can intersect some image fA in a set of positive Hs measure where A ⊂ ℝm and f: A → ℝn is (m/s)-Hölder continuous. In Theorem 3·3 we give a general density result for such Holder surfacesfA which implies…
On Banaschewski functions in lattices
1991
hold for all x, y ~ X. We call such a function z a Banaschewski function or a B-function on X. A lattice L is a B-lattice or antitonely complemented, if there is a B-function defined on the whole lattice L. For instance, Boolean lattices as well as orthocomplemented lattices are B-lattices. On the other hand, a B-lattice is not necessarily Boolean or orthocomplemented, although a distributive B-lattice is a Boolean lattice. It is shown later that a matroid (geometric) lattice is also a B-lattice. Naturally, our results include the lemma of Banaschewski [ 1, Lemma 4], by which the lattice of the subspaces of a vector space is a B-lattice. It should be emphasized that a B-function is supposed…
Operators on PIP-Spaces and Indexed PIP-Spaces
2009
As already mentioned, the basic idea of pip-spaces is that vectors should not be considered individually, but only in terms of the subspaces V r (r Є F), the building blocks of the structure. Correspondingly, an operator on a pipspace should be defined in terms of assaying subspaces only, with the proviso that only continuous or bounded operators are allowed. Thus an operator is a coherent collection of continuous operators. We recall that in a nondegenerate pip-space, every assaying subspace V r carries its Mackey topology \(\tau (V_r , V \bar{r})\) and thus its dual is \(V \bar{r}\). This applies in particular to \(V^{\#}\) and V itself. For simplicity, a continuous linear map between two…
On Certain Metrizable Locally Convex Spaces
1986
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses on certain metrizable locally convex spaces. The linear spaces used are defined over the field IK of real or complex numbers. The word "space" will mean "Hausdorff locally convex space". This chapter presents a proposition which states if U be a neighborhood of the origin in a space E. If A is a barrel in E which is not a neighborhood of the origin and F is a closed subspace of finite codimension in E’ [σ(E’,E)], then U° ∩ F does not contain A° ∩ F. Suppose that U° ∩ F contain A° ∩ F. Then A° ∩ F is equicontinuous hence W is also equicontinuous. Since W° is contained in A, it follows that A is a neighborhood of the origin, a contradiction.
On closures of discrete sets
2018
The depth of a topological space $X$ ($g(X)$) is defined as the supremum of the cardinalities of closures of discrete subsets of $X$. Solving a problem of Mart\'inez-Ruiz, Ram\'irez-P\'aramo and Romero-Morales, we prove that the cardinal inequality $|X| \leq g(X)^{L(X) \cdot F(X)}$ holds for every Hausdorff space $X$, where $L(X)$ is the Lindel\"of number of $X$ and $F(X)$ is the supremum of the cardinalities of the free sequences in $X$.
The complex of words and Nakaoka stability
2005
We give a new simple proof of the exactness of the complex of injective words and use it to prove Nakaoka's homology stability for symmetric groups. The methods are generalized to show acyclicity in low degrees for the complex of words in "general position". Hm(§ni1;Z) = Hm(§n;Z) for n=2 > m where §n denotes the permutation group of n elements. An elementary proof of this fact has not been available in the literature. In the first section the complex C⁄(m) of abelian groups is studied which in de- gree n is freely generated by injective words of length n. The alphabet consists of m letters. The complex C⁄(m) has the only non vanishing homology in degree m (Theorem 1). This is a result of F.…
Summing multi-norms defined by Orlicz spaces and symmetric sequence space
2016
We develop the notion of the \((X_1,X_2)\)-summing power-norm based on a~Banach space \(E\), where \(X_1\) and \(X_2\) are symmetric sequence spaces. We study the particular case when \(X_1\) and \(X_2\) are Orlicz spaces \(\ell_\Phi\) and \(\ell_\Psi\) respectively and analyze under which conditions the \((\Phi, \Psi)\)-summing power-norm becomes a~multinorm. In the case when \(E\) is also a~symmetric sequence space \(L\), we compute the precise value of \(\|(\delta_1,\cdots,\delta_n)\|_n^{(X_1,X_2)}\) where \((\delta_k)\) stands for the canonical basis of \(L\), extending known results for the \((p,q)\)-summing power-norm based on the space \(\ell_r\) which corresponds to \(X_1=\ell_p\), …

Dissipative operators and differential equations on Banach spaces
1991
If we consider the initial value problem Inline Equation $$x'(t) = f(t,x(t)),{\text{ }}x(0) = {x_0}$$ on the real line, it is well known that one—sided bounds like Inline Equation $$\left[ {f(t,x) - f\left( {t,y} \right)} \right]\left( {x - {\text{y}}} \right) \leqslant \omega {\left( {x - y} \right)^2}$$ give much better information about the behaviour of solutions than the Lipschitz- type estimates Inline Equation $$ \left| {f\left( {t,x} \right) - f\left( {t,y} \right)} \right| \leqslant L\left| {x - y} \right|,$$ because ω, unlike L, may be negative.
