The projection constant $\Pi(E):=\Pi(E, \ell_\infty)$ of a finite-dimensional Banach space $E\subset\ell_\infty$ is by definition the smallest norm of a linear projection of $\ell_\infty$ onto $E$. Fix $n\geq 1$ and denote by $\Pi_n$ the…
Let $\lambda_1(G)\ge \lambda_2(G)\ge \cdots \ge \lambda_n(G)$ denote the adjacency eigenvalues of a graph $G$ of order $n$. We prove that for every $k\geq 2$ and every graph $G$ on $n\geq k$ vertices, $$ \lambda_k(G)\le…
The general problem we address is to develop new methods in the study of projection constants of Banach spaces of multivariate polynomials. The relative projection constant $\boldsymbol{\lambda}(X,Y)$ of a subspace $X$ of a Banach $Y$ is…
For a Banach space $V$ we define its Lipschitz extension constant, $\cL\cE(V)$, to be the infimum of the constants $c$ such that for every metric space $(Z,\rho)$, every $X \subset Z$, and every $f: X \to V$, there is an extension, $g$, of…
The long-standing problem of minimal projections is addressed from a computational point of view. Techniques to determine bounds on the projection constants of univariate polynomial spaces are presented. The upper bound, produced by a…
We prove that the absolute extendability constant of a finite metric space may be determined by computing relative projection constants of certain Lipschitz-free spaces. As an application, we show that $\mbox{ae}(3)=4/3$ and…
We construct a Banach space satisfying that the nearest point map (also called proximity mapping or metric projection) onto any compact and convex subset is continuous but not uniformly continuous. The space we construct is locally…
It is well known in Banach space theory that for a finite dimensional space $E$ there exists a constant $c_E$, such that for all sequences $(x_k)_k \subset E$ one has \[ \summ_k \noo x_k \rrm \kl c_E \pl \sup_{\eps_k \pm 1} \noo \summ_k…
The primary aim of this work is to develop methods that provide new insights into the relationships between fundamental constants in Banach space theory--specifically, the projection constant, the unconditional basis constant and the…
Given a Banach space $X$, for $n\in \mathbb N$ and $p\in (1,\infty)$ we investigate the smallest constant $\mathfrak P\in (0,\infty)$ for which every $f_1,...,f_n:{-1,1}^n\to X$ satisfy \int_{{-1,1}^n}\Bigg|\sum_{j=1}^n…
We consider the method of alternating (metric) projections for pairs of linear subspaces of finite dimensional Banach spaces. We investigate the size of the set of points for which this method converges to the metric projection onto the…
The main aim of this work is to study important local Banach space constants for Boolean cube function spaces. Specifically, we focus on $\mathcal{B}_{\mathcal{S}}^N$, the finite-dimensional Banach space of all real-valued functions defined…
For any non-trivial convex and bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space, we show that outside of a $\sigma$-porous subset of the space of non-expansive mappings $C\to C$, all mappings have the maximal Lipschitz constant one witnessed locally at…
Let $E$ be a Banach space and, for any positive integer $n$, let ${\cal P}(^nE)$ denote the Banach space of continuous $n$-homogeneous polynomials on $E$. Davie and Gamelin showed that the natural extension mapping from ${\cal P}(^nE)$ to…
The \emph{relative projection constant} $\lambda(Y, X)$ of normed spaces $Y \subset X$ is defined as $\lambda(Y, X) = \inf \{ ||P|| : P \in \mathcal{P}(X, Y) \}$, where $\mathcal{P}(X, Y)$ denotes the set of all continuous projections from…
It is proved that the projection constants of two- and three-dimensional spaces are bounded by $4/3$ and $(1+\sqrt 5)/2$, respectively. These bounds are attained precisely by the spaces whose unit balls are the regular hexagon and…
Let $X$ be a Banach space with separable dual. It is proved that for every $\varepsilon\in (0,1)$, $X$ embeds isometrically into a Banach space $W$ with a shrinking basis $(w_n)$ which is $(1+ \varepsilon)$-monotone. Moreover, if $X$ has…
Over the real or complex field, we establish a duality formula for projection constants of finite-codimensional subspaces of Banach spaces with the Daugavet property. If \[ Y=\bigcap_{j=1}^n \ker f_j \subset X, \qquad…
We show that on the real $2$-dimensional Banach space $\ell_1^2$ there is an analytic function $f:B_{\ell_1^2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that its power series at origin has radius of uniform convergence one, but for some $a\in…
We investigate a Grothendieck-type inequality for pairs of Banach spaces $E,F$ assuming $E$ is finite-dimensional and study the associated Grothendieck-type constant. We prove that if there is a $C >0$ such that $\|A\otimes…
