We give a survey about the Runge approximation problem for a holomorphic function defined on the unit ball of a complex Banach space.
In this note, we study the geometry of the unit ball of the Banach space generated by the adequate family of all subsets of branches of the infinite binary tree, and answer several open questions related to slicely countably determined…
We continue to investigate cases when the Repov\v{s}-Semenov splitting problem for selections has an affirmative solution for continuous set-valued mappings. We consider the situation in infinite-dimensional uniformly convex Banach spaces.…
Usually, for extension of local maps, one uses multiplication by so called bump functions. However, majority of infinite-dimensional linear topological spaces do not have smooth bump functions. Therefore, in \cite{BR} we suggested a new…
We find tight estimates for the minimum number of proper subspaces needed to cover all lattice points in an n-dimensional convex body symmetric about the origin. We also find the order of magnitude of the number of (n-1)-dimensional…
Here we consider a perturbation of continuous mappings on Banach spaces and investigate their image under various conditions. Consequently, we study the solvability of some classes of equations and inclusions. For these, we start by the…
We investigate the question whether the (I)-envelope of any subset of a dual to a Banach space $X$ may be described as the closed convex hull in a suitable topology. If $X$ contains no copy of $\ell^1$ then the weak topology generated by…
We review the current state of the homogeneous Banach space problem. We then formulate several questions which arise naturally from this problem, some of which seem to be fundamental but new. We give many examples defining the bounds on the…
We study the problems of covering or partitioning a polygon $P$ (possibly with holes) using a minimum number of small pieces, where a small piece is a connected sub-polygon contained in an axis-aligned unit square. For covering, we seek to…
Simple random coverage models, well studied in Euclidean space, can also be defined on a general compact metric space. By analogy with the geometric models, and with the discrete coupon collector's problem and with cover times for finite…
In this working note we study the one-sided positive Banach-Mazur distance between some pairs of $C(K)$ Banach spaces. Building on methods developed in [4], we solve, in particular, one of the problems posed in [2].
We construct explicit $\delta$-bracketing covers with minimal cardinality for the set system of (anchored) rectangles in the two dimensional unit cube. More precisely, the cardinality of these $\delta$-bracketing covers are bounded from…
The notion of ball convexity, considered in finite dimensional real Banach spaces, is a natural and useful extension of usual convexity; one replaces intersections of half-spaces by suitable intersections of balls. A subset $S$ of a normed…
We study dense packings of a large number of congruent non-overlapping circles inside a square by looking for configurations which maximize the packing density, defined as the ratio between the area occupied by the disks and the area of the…
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…
In this paper we study properties of complete sets and of completions of sets in Banach spaces. We consider the family of completions of a given set and its size; we also study in detail the relationships concerning diameters, radii, and…
We present a method to obtain upper bounds on covering numbers. As applications of this method, we reprove and generalize results of Rogers on economically covering Euclidean $n$-space with translates of a convex body, or more generally,…
We extend Bishop's one-fourth three-fourths principle for constructing peak functions belonging to a uniform algebra to a situation where the ``approximate barriers'' associated with the Bishop construction are not uniformly bounded.
We consider problems concerning the partial order structure of the set of spreading models of Banach spaces. We construct examples of spaces showing that the possible structure of these sets include certain classes of finite semi-lattices…
Given a finite dimensional Banach space X with dimX = n and an Auerbach basis of X, it is proved that: there exists a set D of n + 1 linear combinations (with coordinates 0, -1, +1) of the members of the basis, so that each pair of…
