In this paper we introduce the notion of I-convergence of sequences of k-dimensional subspaces of an inner product space, where I is an ideal of subsets of N, the set of all natural numbers and k in N. We also study some basic properties of…

Refining some results of S. S. Dragomir, several new reverses of the generalized triangle inequality in inner product spaces are given. Among several results, we establish some reverses for the Schwarz inequality. In particular, it is…

We consider a fairly general class of natural non standard metric products and classify those amongst them, which yield a product of certain type (for instance an inner metric space) for all possible choices of factors of this type (inner…

In this article, we discuss the equality of two inner products on a vector space. Particularly, we look at some geometric properties that are given to a vector space by an inner product namely, length and angle, and we ask under what…

We prove several results of the following type: given finite dimensional normed space V possessing certain geometric property there exists another space X having the same property and such that (1) log (dim X) = O(log (dim V)) and (2) every…

A new inequality between angles in inner product spaces is formulated and proved. It leads directly to a concise statement and proof of the generalized Wielandt inequality, including a simple description of all cases of equality. As a…

In this paper we study sums and products in a field. Let $F$ be a field with ${\rm ch}(F)\not=2$, where ${\rm ch}(F)$ is the characteristic of $F$. For any integer $k\ge4$, we show that each $x\in F$ can be written as $a_1+\ldots+a_k$ with…

A space $X$ is called a generalized Namioka space (g$\mathcal{N}$-space), if for every compact space $Y$ and every separately continuous function $f\colon X\times Y\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, there exists at least one point $x\in X$ such that…

Let $(X,\left\Vert \cdot \right\Vert )$ be a real normed space of dimension $N\in \mathbb{N}$ with a basis $(e_{i})_{1}^{N}$ such that the norm is invariant under coordinate permutations. Assume for simplicity that the basis constant is at…

In this paper, we consider the linear direct sum of a real normed linear space with an order unit space and with a base normed space to obtain respectively a new order unit space and a new base normed space. As a consequence, we find that…

A real semi-inner-product space is a real vector space $\M$ equipped with a function $[.,.] : \M \times \M \to \Re$ which is linear in its first variable, strictly positive and satisfies the Schwartz inequality. It is well-known that the…

We define a set inner product to be a function on pairs of convex bodies which is symmetric, Minkowski linear in each dimension, positive definite, and satisfies the natural analogue of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality (which is not implied…

In this paper we parallelly build up the theories of normed linear spaces and of linear spaces with indefinite metric, called also Minkowski spaces for finite dimensions in the literature. In the first part of this paper we collect the…

A product of compact normal spaces is normal; the product of a countably infinite collection of non-trivial spaces is normal if and only if it is countably paracompact and each of its finite sub-products is normal; if all powers of a space…

Given a postulated set of points, an algebraic system of axioms is proposed for an "arrow space'". An arrow is defined to be an ordered set of two points <T, H>, named respectively Tail and Head. The set of arrows is an arrow space. The…

In this paper is defined an $n$-inner product of type $\langle {\bf a}_1,\cdots ,{\bf a}_n\vert {\bf b}_1\cdots {\bf b}_n\rangle $ where ${\bf a}_1,\cdots ,{\bf a}_n$, ${\bf b}_1, \cdots ,{\bf b}_n$ are vectors from a vector space $V$. This…

A space is called minimal if it admits a minimal continuous selfmap. We give examples of metrizable continua $X$ admitting both minimal homeomorphisms and minimal noninvertible maps, whose squares $X\times X$ are not minimal, i.e., they…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of inner product on weak hypervector spaces and prove some results about them.

In the literature surrounding the theory of Banach spaces, considerable effort has been invested in exploring the conditions on a Banach space X that characterise X as being an inner product space or as a linearly isomorphic copy of a…

We prove several results of the following type: given finite dimensional normed space V there exists another space X with log (dim X) = O(log (dim V)) and such that every subspace (or quotient) of X, whose dimension is not "too small,"…
