A new geometric constant to compare p-angular and skew p-angular distances
Abstract
The -angular distance was first introduced by Maligranda in 2006, while the skew -angular distance was first introduced by Rooin in 2018. In this paper, we shall introduce a new geometric constant named Maligranda-Rooin constant in Banach spaces to compare -angular distance and skew -angular distance. We denote the Maligranda-Rooin constant as . First, the upper and lower bounds for the constant is given. Next, it's shown that, a normed linear space is an inner space if and only if . Moreover, an equivalent form of this new constant is established. By means of the constant, we carry out the quantification of the characterization of uniform nonsquareness. Finally, we study the relationship between the constant, uniform convexity, uniform smooth and normal structure.
