We show that a Banach space with numerical index one cannot enjoy good convexity or smoothness properties unless it is one-dimensional. For instance, it has no WLUR points in its unit ball, its norm is not Frechet smooth and its dual norm…
In this paper, we investigate the existence of fixed points for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with center 0 defined on closed convex subsets of various Banach spaces. Three applications are given. Firstly, we prove that our results…
We investigate questions of maximal symmetry in Banach spaces and the structure of certain bounded non-unitarisable groups on Hilbert space. In particular, we provide structural information about bounded groups with an essentially unique…
We study the class of compact convex subsets of a topological vector space which admits a strictly convex and lower semicontinuous function. We prove that such a compact set is embeddable in a strictly convex dual Banach space endowed with…
The aim of this paper is to introduce and to investigate the basic properties of $q$-convex, $q$-affine and $q$-concave sequences and to establish their surprising connection to Chebyshev polynomials of the first and of the second kind. One…
In this note, we provide a characterization for the set of extreme points of the Lipschitz unit ball in a specific vectorial setting. While the analysis of the case of real-valued functions is covered extensively in the literature, no…
According to a result due to B.T. Polyak, a mapping between Hilbert spaces, which is $C^{1,1}$ around a regular point, carries a ball centered at that point to a convex set, provided that the radius of the ball is small enough. The present…
We investigate the differentiability properties of real-valued quasiconvex functions f defined on a separable Banach space X. Continuity is only assumed to hold at the points of a dense subset. If so, this subset is automatically residual.…
A Banach space has the weak fixed point property if its dual space has a weak$^*$ sequentially compact unit ball and the dual space satisfies the weak$^*$ uniform Kadec-Klee property; and it has the \fpp if there exists $\epsilon>0$ such…
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…
A generalized Nash equilibrium problem (GNEP) in Banach space consists of $N>1$ optimal control problems with couplings in both the objective functions and, most importantly, in the feasible sets. We address the existence of equilibria for…
We study smoothness and strict convexity of (the bidual) of Banach spaces in the presence of diameter 2 properties. We prove that the strong diameter 2 property prevents the bidual from being strictly convex and being smooth, and we…
We show that there exists a Banach space in which every non-empty weakly open subset of its unit ball has radius one, the maximum possible value, but the infimum of the diameter of its slices is exactly one, so extremely far from its…
In this paper, we study the existence of the random approximations and fixed points for random almost lower semicontinuous operators defined on finite dimensional Banach spaces, which in addition, are condensing or 1-set-contractive. Our…
A Banach space is locally almost square if, for every $y$ in its unit sphere, there exists a sequence $(x_n)$ in its unit sphere such that $\lim\|y\pm x_n\|=1$. A Banach space is weakly almost square if, in addition, we require the sequence…
We show that every Banach space containing isomorphic copies of $c_0$ can be equivalently renormed so that every nonempty relatively weakly open subset of its unit ball has diameter 2 and, however, its unit ball still contains convex…
The center manifold is useful for describing the long-term behavior of a system of differential equations. In this work, we consider an autonomous differential equation in a Banach space that has the exponential trichotomy property in the…
A separable Banach space $X$ is said to be finitely determined if for each separable space $Y$ such that $X$ is finitely representable (f.r.) in $Y$ and $Y$ is f.r. in $X$ then $Y$ is isometric to $X$. We provide a direct proof (without…
The notion of nonpositive curvature in Alexandrov's sense is extended to include p-uniformly convex Banach spaces. Infinite dimensional manifolds of semi-negative curvature with a p-uniformly convex tangent norm fall in this class on…
The main objective of this article is to provide an alternative approach to the central result of [Eldred, A. Anthony, Kirk, W. A., Veeramani, P., Proximal normal structure and relatively nonexpansive mappings, Studia Math., vol 171(3),…
