Property (M) and the weak fixed point property

1997

It is shown that in Banach spaces with the property (M) of Kalton, nonexpansive self mappings of nonempty weakly compact convex sets necessarily have fixed points. The stability of this conclusion under renormings is examined and conditions for such spaces to have weak normal structure are considered.

Shrinking and boundedly complete Schauder frames in Fréchet spaces

2014

We study Schauder frames in Fréchet spaces and their duals, as well as perturbation results. We define shrinking and boundedly complete Schauder frames on a locally convex space, study the duality of these two concepts and their relation with the reflexivity of the space. We characterize when an unconditional Schauder frame is shrinking or boundedly complete in terms of properties of the space. Several examples of concrete Schauder frames in function spaces are also presented.

Uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings

2006

Abstract It is shown that if the modulus Γ X of nearly uniform smoothness of a reflexive Banach space satisfies Γ X ′ ( 0 ) 1 , then every bounded closed convex subset of X has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings. In particular, uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have this property since they are properly included in this class of spaces. This answers a long-standing question in the theory.

Existence theorems for m-accretive operators in Banach spaces

2005

Abstract In 1985, the second author proved a surjective result for m -accretive and ϕ -expansive mappings for uniformly smooth Banach spaces. However, in this case, we have been able to remove the uniform smoothness of the Banach space, without any additional assumption.

The fixed point property in banach spaces whose characteristic of uniform convexity is less than 2

1993

AbstractWe prove that every Banach space X with characteristic of uniform convexity less than 2 has the fixed point property whenever X satisfies a certain orthogonality condition.

Sets of Efficiency in a Normed Space and Inner Product

1987

In a normed space X the distances to the points of a given set A being considered as the objective functions of a multicriteria optimization problem, we define four sets of efficiency (efficient, strictly efficient, weakly efficient and properly efficient points). Instead of studying properties of the sets of efficiency according to properties of the norm, we investigate an inverse problem: deduce properties of the norm of X from properties of the sets of efficiency, valid for every finite subset A of X.

Weakly continuous mappings on Banach spaces

1983

Abstract It is shown that every n -homogeneous continuous polynomial on a Banach space E which is weakly continuous on the unit ball of E is weakly uniformly continuous on the unit ball of E . Applications of the result to spaces of polynomials and holomorphic mappings on E are given.

On Weakly Locally Uniformly Rotund Banach Spaces

1999

Abstract We show that every normed space E with a weakly locally uniformly rotund norm has an equivalent locally uniformly rotund norm. After obtaining a σ -discrete network of the unit sphere S E for the weak topology we deduce that the space E must have a countable cover by sets of small local diameter, which in turn implies the renorming conclusion. This solves a question posed by Deville, Godefroy, Haydon, and Zizler. For a weakly uniformly rotund norm we prove that the unit sphere is always metrizable for the weak topology despite the fact that it may not have the Kadec property. Moreover, Banach spaces having a countable cover by sets of small local diameter coincide with the descript…

Geometry of spaces of compact operators

2008

We introduce the notion of compactly locally reflexive Banach spaces and show that a Banach space X is compactly locally reflexive if and only if $\mathcal{K}(Y,X^{**})\subseteq\mathcal{K}(Y,X)^{**}$ for all reflexive Banach spaces Y. We show that X * has the approximation property if and only if X has the approximation property and is compactly locally reflexive. The weak metric approximation property was recently introduced by Lima and Oja. We study two natural weak compact versions of this property. If X is compactly locally reflexive then these two properties coincide. We also show how these properties are related to the compact approximation property and the compact approximation prope…
