We show that norms on certain Banach spaces $X$ can be approximated uniformly, and with arbitrary precision, on bounded subsets of $X$ by $C^{\infty}$ smooth norms and polyhedral norms. In particular, we show that this holds for any…

We prove two theorems about differentiable functions on the Banach space C(K), where K is compact. (i) If C(K) admits a non-trivial function of class C^m and of bounded support, then all continuous real-valued functions on C(K) may be…

We prove that in every separable Banach space $X$ with a Schauder basis and a $C^k$-smooth norm it is possible to approximate, uniformly on bounded sets, every equivalent norm with a $C^k$-smooth one in a way that the approximation is…

Let X be a separable real Banach space having a k-times continuously Fr\'{e}chet differentiable (i.e. C^k-smooth) norm where k=1,...,\infty. We show that any equivalent norm on X can be approximated uniformly on bounded sets by C^k-smooth…

The aim of this paper is to present a tool used to show that certain Banach spaces can be endowed with $C^k$ smooth equivalent norms. The hypothesis uses particular countable decompositions of certain subsets of $B_{X^*}$, namely…

We construct infinitely differentiable norms and partitions of unity for a class of Banach spaces which includes all spaces $\C(K)$ with $K$ a countable compact space, and all spaces $\C_0[0,\Omega )$ with $\Omega $ an ordinal.

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…

We study the classification of spaces of continuous functions $C(K)$ under positive linear maps. For infinite countable compacta, we show that whenever $C(K)$ and $C(L)$ are isomorphic, there exists an isomorphism $T:C(K)\to C(L)$…

Let $\Gamma$ be a Polish space and let $K$ be a separable and pointwise compact set of real-valued functions on $\Gamma$. It is shown that if each function in $K$ has only countably many discontinuities then $C(K)$ may be equipped with a…

Let $X$ be a WCG Banach space admitting a $C^k$-Fr\' echet smooth norm. Then $X$ admits an equivalent norm which is simultaneously $C^1$-Fr\' echet smooth, LUR, and a uniform limit of $C^k$-Fr\' echet smooth norms. If $X=C([0,\alpha])$,…

We introduce and study a strict monotonicity property of the norm in solid Banach lattices of real functions that prevents such spaces from having the local diameter two property. Then we show that any strictly convex 1-symmetric norm on…

We study the space of orthogonally additive $n$-homogeneous polynomials on $C(K)$. There are two natural norms on this space. First, there is the usual supremum norm of uniform convergence on the closed unit ball. As every orthogonally…

Let $X$ be a Banach space. We prove that, for a large class of Banach or quasi-Banach spaces $E$ of $X$-valued sequences, the sets $E-\bigcup _{q\in\Gamma}\ell_{q}(X)$, where $\Gamma$ is any subset of $(0,\infty]$, and $E-c_{0}(X)$ contain…

The main aim of this work is to give a general approach to the celebrated Kahane-Salem-Zygmund inequalities. We prove estimates for exponential Orlicz norms of averages $\sup_{1\le j \leq N} \big |\sum_{1 \leq i \leq K}\gamma_i(\cdot)…

Let $\lambda$ be a large enough cardinal number (assuming GCH it suffices to let $\lambda=\aleph_\omega$). If $X$ is a Banach space with $\text{dens}(X)\ge\lambda$, which admits a coarse (or uniform) embedding into any $c_0(\Gamma)$, then…

The following result was announced in the earlier version(s) of this paper: On weakly compactly generated Banach spaces which admit a Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth bump function, one can uniformly approximate uniformly continuous, bounded,…

We show that on separable Banach spaces admitting a separating polynomial, any uniformly continuous, bounded, real-valued function can be uniformly approximated by Lipschitz, analytic maps on bounded sets.

For $1\leq p<\infty$, we prove that the dense subspace $\mathcal{Y}_p$ of $\ell_p(\Gamma)$ comprising all elements $y$ such that $y \in \ell_q(\Gamma)$ for some $q \in (0,p)$ admits a $C^{\infty}$-smooth norm which locally depends on…

Supplementing and expanding classical results, for compact spaces $K$ and $L$, $L$ metric, and their Banach spaces $\mathcal{C}(L)$ and $\mathcal{C}(K)$ of continuous real-valued functions, we provide several characterizations of the…

We investigate for which compactifications $\gamma\omega$ of the discrete space of natural numbers $\omega$, the natural copy of the Banach space $c_0$ is complemented in $C(\gamma\omega)$. We show, in particular, that the separability of…
