We describe all metric spaces that have sufficently many affine functions. As an application we obtain a metric characterization of linear-convex subsets of Banach spaces.

Let $\sum_{n=1}^\infty x_n$ be a conditionally convergent series in a Banach space and let $\tau$ be a permutation of natural numbers. We study the set $\operatorname{LIM}(\sum_{n=1}^\infty x_{\tau(n)})$ of all limit points of a sequence…

This paper deals with (finite or infinite) sequences of arbitrary independent events in some probability space. We find sharp lower bounds for the probability of a union of such events when the sum of their probabilities is given. The…

We examine properties of achievement sets of series in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We show several examples of unusual sets of subsums on the plane. We prove that we can obtain any set of P-sums as a cut of an achievement set in $\mathbb{R}^2.$ We…

We define the frame potential for a Schauder frame on a finite dimensional Banach space as the square of the $2$-summing norm of the frame operator. As is the case for frames for Hilbert spaces, we prove that the frame potential can be used…

When optimization theorists consider optimization problems in infinite dimensional spaces, they need to deal with closed convex subsets(usually cones) which mostly have empty interior. These subsets often prevent optimization theorists from…

We introduce the notion of index of summability for pairs of Banach spaces; for Banach spaces E; F, this index plays the role of a kind of measure of how the m-homogeneous polynomials from E to F are far from being absolutely summing. In…

For each sequence X of finite-dimensional Banach spaces there exists a sequence H of finite connected nweighted graphs with maximum degree 3 such that the following conditions on a Banach space Y are equivalent: (1) Y admits uniformly…

In this paper, we begin by constructing global linear maps on (n-2)-dimensional subspaces, derived from the local continuity of linear transformations among central sections of a convex body. Using these linear maps, we subsequently…

We provide bounds on the upper box-counting dimension of negatively invariant subsets of Banach spaces, a problem that is easily reduced to covering the image of the unit ball under a linear map by a collection of balls of smaller radius.…

We construct a nonseparable Banach space $\mathcal X$ (actually, of density continuum) such that any uncountable subset $\mathcal Y$ of the unit sphere of $\mathcal X$ contains uncountably many points distant by less than $1$ (in fact, by…

It is a longstanding problem whether every contractible Banach algebra is necessarily finite-dimensional. In this note, we confirm this for Banach algebras acting on Banach spaces with the uniform approximation property. This generalizes a…

Given any Banach space $X$, let $L_2^X$ denote the Banach space of all measurable functions $f:[0,1]\to X$ for which ||f||_2:=(int_0^1 ||f(t)||^2 dt)^{1/2} is finite. We show that $X$ is a UMD--space (see \cite{BUR:1986}) if and only if…

We construct a Banach space satisfying that the nearest point map (also called proximity mapping or metric projection) onto any compact and convex subset is continuous but not uniformly continuous. The space we construct is locally…

We generalize the notion of flat chains with arbitrary coefficient groups to Banach spaces and prove a sequential compactness result. We also remove the restriction that a flat chain have finite mass in order for its support to exist.

In this article we describe all possible infinite linear configurations that can be found in a shift of any set of positive upper Banach density. This simultaneously generalizes Szemer\'edi's theorem on arithmetic progressions and the…

A general device is proposed, which provides for extension of exponential inequalities for sums of independent real-valued random variables to those for martingales in the 2-smooth Banach spaces. This is used to obtain optimum bounds of the…

We study the Banach space $D([0,1]^m)$ of functions of several variables that are (in a certain sense) right-continuous with left limits, and extend several results previously known for the standard case $m=1$. We give, for example, a…

Let $B_Y$ denote the unit ball of a normed linear space $Y$. A symmetric, bounded, closed, convex set $A$ in a finite dimensional normed linear space $X$ is called a {\it sufficient enlargement} for $X$ if, for an arbitrary isometric…

The computation of the numerical index of a Banach space is an intriguing problem, even in case of two-dimensional real polyhedral Banach spaces. In this article we present a general method to estimate the numerical index of any…
