We prove a generalization of the polarization identity of linear algebra expressing the inner product of a complex inner product space in terms of the norm, where the field of scalars is extended to an associative algebra equipped with an…

We give new characterizations of spaces $X$ which are $k_\mathbb{R}$-spaces or $s_\mathbb{R}$-spaces. Applying the obtained results we provide some sufficient and necessary conditions on $X$ for which $C_p(X)$ is a $k_\mathbb{R}$-space or…

A metric space X is straight if for each finite cover of X by closed sets, and for each real valued function f on X, if f is uniformly continuous on each set of the cover, then f is uniformly continuous on the whole of X. A locally…

The aim of this paper is to present some results concerning the $\rho_*$-orthogonality in real normed spaces and its preservation by linear operators. Among other things, we prove that if $T\,: X \longrightarrow Y$ is a nonzero linear $(I,…

In this paper we present a new characterization of inner product spaces related to the p-angular distance. We also generalize some results due to Dunkl, Williams, Kirk, Smiley and Al-Rashed by using the notion of p-angular distance.

We study a concept of inner function suited to Dirichlet-type spaces. We characterize Dirichlet-inner functions as those for which both the space and multiplier norms are equal to 1.

We establish the optimal lower bound $\gtrsim N$ for counting the number of distinct inner products of pairs from any $N$ given vectors in $\R^2$. Essentially, we lift a related incidence structure defined by inner products in the plane to…

A real finite-dimensional space with indefinite scalar product having v- negative squares and v+ positive ones is considered. The paper presents a classification of operators that are normal with respect to this product for the cases…

The main goal of this paper is to present new bounds for certain inner products in Hilbert spaces, with applications to the numerical radius and the operator norm. The obtained results significantly improve earlier results in this…

The paper studies a general norm minimization problem on a product of normed vector spaces. We establish dual necessary and sufficient optimality conditions and derive explicit formulas for the corresponding solution sets. These formulas…

In this paper, we define the spaces with a regular base at non-isolated points and discuss some metrization theorems. We firstly show that a space $X$ is a metrizable space, if and only if $X$ is a regular space with a $\sigma$-locally…

We use probabilistic, topological and combinatorial methods to establish the following deviation inequality: For any normed space $X=(\mathbb R^n ,\|\cdot\| )$ there exists an invertible linear map $T:\mathbb R^n \to \mathbb R^n$ with \[…

Finite dimensional linear spaces (both complex and real) with indefinite scalar product [.,.] are considered. Upper and lower bounds are given for the size of an indecomposable matrix that is normal with respect to this scalar product in…

We show that any nonsingular (real or complex) square matrix can be factorized into a product of at most three normal matrices, one of which is unitary, another selfadjoint with eigenvalues in the open right half-plane, and the third one is…

Let $X$ be a uniform space and $U(X)$ the linear space of real-valued uniformly continuous functions on $X$. Our main objective is to give a number of properties characterizing the fact that $U(X)$ is stable under pointwise product in case…

This article discusses the concept of Boolean spaces endowed with a Boolean valued inner product and their matrices. A natural inner product structure for the space of Boolean n-tuples is introduced. Stochastic boolean vectors and…

We describe the norming sets for the space of global holomorphic sections to a $k$-power of a positive holomorphic line bundle on a compact complex manifold $X$. We characterize in metric terms the sequence of measurable subsets…

In this paper we develop a duality theory for all finite-dimensional near-vector spaces and introduce a notion of inner product tailored to the broad and natural class of strongly regular near-vector spaces. This generalized construction…

We define an inner product on a vector space of adelic measures over a number field. We find that the norm induced by this inner product governs weak convergence at each place of $K$. The canonical adelic measure associated to a rational…

We say that a smooth normed space $X$ has a property (SL), if every mapping $f:X \to X$ preserving the semi-inner product on $X$ is linear. It is well known that every Hilbert space has the property (SL) and the same is true for every…
