An important consequence of the Hahn-Banach Theorem says that on any locally convex Hausdorff topological space $X$, there are sufficiently many continuous linear functionals to separate points of $X$. In the paper, we establish a `local'…

Modifying the moduli of supporting convexity and supporting smoothness, we introduce new moduli for Banach spaces which occur, e.g., as lengths of catheti of right-angled triangles (defined via so-called quasi-orthogonality). These…

We study existence and partial regularity relative to the weighted Steiner problem in Banach spaces. We show $C^1$ regularity almost everywhere for almost minimizing sets in uniformly rotund Banach spaces whose modulus of uniform convexity…

In analogy with the classical Minkowski problem, necessary and sufficient conditions are given to assure that a given measure on the unit sphere is the cone-volume measure of the unit ball of a finite dimensional Banach space.

We analyse several examples of separable Banach spaces, some of them new, and relate them to several dichotomies obtained in the previous paper Banach spaces without minimal subspaces, by classifying them according to which side of the…

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…

A boundary for a Banach space is a subset of the dual unit sphere with the property that each element of the Banach space attains its norm on an element of that subset. Trivially, the pointwise convergence with respect to such a boundary is…

One shows for Banach bundles in a certain class that having a second countable locally compact Hausdorff base space and separable fibers implies the separability of the Banach space of the all sections that vanish at infinity. In the…

Cocompactness is a property of embeddings between two Banach spaces, similar to but weaker than compactness, defined relative to some non-compact group of bijective isometries. In presence of a cocompact embedding, bounded sequences (in the…

It is shown that a Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual admits an equivalent norm which is itself locally uniformly convex. It follows that on any such space all continuous real-valued functions may be uniformly approximated by…

Let $X$ be a real Banach space. A subset $B$ of the dual unit sphere of $X$ is said to be a boundary for $X$, if every element of $X$ attains its norm on some functional in $B$. The well-known Boundary Problem originally posed by Godefroy…

Let $E$ be a Banach space with the $c^1$-norm $\|\cdot\|$ in $ E \backslash \{0\}$ and $S(E)=\{e\in E: \|e\|=1\}.$ In this paper, a geometry characteristic for $E$ is presented by using a geometrical construct of $S(E).$ That is, the…

G. Godefroy asked whether, on any Banach space, the set of norm-attaining functionals contains a 2-dimensional linear subspace. We prove that a recent construction due to C.J. Read provides an example of a space which does not have this…

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…

We establish a general criterion for the existence of convex sets of fixed shape as, e.g., balls of a given radius, of maximal probability on Banach spaces. We also provide counterexamples showing that their existence my fail even in some…

A polyhedral norm is a norm N on R^n for which the set N(x)\leq 1 is a polytope. This covers the case of the L^1 and L^{\infty} norms. We consider here effective algorithms for determining the Voronoi polytope for such norms with a point…

We study a local version of the ball-covering problem in Banach spaces, and obtain a complete solution to it in terms of the norm derivatives. We illustrate the advantage of the local approach by obtaining substantial refinements of several…

In this paper, we shall establish Banach-Stone type theorems on spaces of uniformly continuous and lipschitz continuous pseudometrics.

Let $X$ be a three dimensional real Banach space. Ben\'itez and Otero \cite {BeO} showed that if the unit ball of $X$ is is an intersection of two ellipsoids, then every 2-polynomial defined in a linear subspace of $X$ can be extended to…

In this paper, we investigates the Bohr phenomenon for holomorphic mappings $F$ from the unit ball $\mathbb{B}_X$ of a complex Banach space $X$ into the closure of the unit polydisc $\mathbb{D}^m$ within the space $\mathbb{C}^m$. First, we…
