We say that a metric space $(X,d)$ possesses the \emph{Banach Fixed Point Property (BFPP)} if every contraction $f:X\to X$ has a fixed point. The Banach Fixed Point Theorem says that every complete metric space has the BFPP. However, E.…

As proved in [16], for a Tychonoff space $X$, a locally convex space $C_{p}(X)$ is distinguished if and only if $X$ is a $\Delta$-space. If there exists a linear continuous surjective mapping $T:C_p(X) \to C_p(Y)$ and $C_p(X)$ is…

Assume that $X$ is a Banach space of measurable functions for which Koml\'os' Theorem holds. We associate to any closed convex bounded subset $C$ of $X$ a coefficient $t(C)$ which attains its minimum value when $C$ is closed for the…

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…

Let $E$ be a uniformly smooth and uniformly convex real Banach space and $E^*$ be its dual space. Suppose $A : E\rightarrow E^*$ is bounded, strongly monotone and satisfies the range condition such that $A^{-1}(0)\neq \emptyset$. Inspired…

Let $X$ be a completely regular space. For a non-vanishing self-adjoint Banach subalgebra $H$ of $C_B(X)$ which has local units we construct the spectrum $\mathfrak{sp}(H)$ of $H$ as an open subspace of the Stone-Cech compactification of…

Starting from Sinclair's 1976 work {\it Automatic Continuity of Linear Operators}, Cambridge University Press, (1976), on automatic continuity of linear operators on Banach spaces, we prove that sequences of intertwining continuous linear…

Let $X$ be a locally compact topological space, $(Y,d)$ be a boundedly compact metric space and $LB(X,Y)$ be the space of all locally bounded functions from $X$ to $Y$. We characterize compact sets in $LB(X,Y)$ equipped with the topology of…

Our main result states that the hyperspace of convex compact subsets of a compact convex subset $X$ in a locally convex space is an absolute retract if and only if $X$ is an absolute retract of weight $\le\omega_1$. It is also proved that…

We study the local Lipschitz one subsets of a finite dimensional space, that is, sets for which there exists a continuous function whose local Lipschitz derivative is the characteristic function of said set. We give a characterization of a…

Fixed point theory studies conditions under which nonexpansive maps on Banach spaces have fixed points. This paper examines the open question of whether every reflexive Banach space has the fixed point property. After surveying classical…

A Banach space is {\it polynomially Schur} if sequential convergence against analytic polynomials implies norm convergence. Carne, Cole and Gamelin show that a space has this property and the Dunford-Pettis property if and only if it is…

We establish complete characterizations of various notions of expansivity for weighted composition operators on a very general class of locally convex spaces of continuous functions. This class includes several classical classes of…

A topological space $X$ is Baire if the intersection of any sequence of open dense subsets of $X$ is dense in $X$. Let $C_p(X,[0,1])$ denote the space of all continuous $[0,1]$-valued functions on a Tychonoff space $X$ with the topology of…

This paper presents new approaches to the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings in L^1 spaces. While it is well-known that L^1 fails the fixed point property in general, we provide a complete and self-contained proof that…

Let $E$ be an order continuous K\"{o}the function space over a non purely atomic probability measure $\mu$ and let $X$ be a Banach space, with topological duals $E^*$ and $X^*$, respectively. Let $E(X)$ and $E^*(X^*)$ be the corresponding…

Motivated by Rosenthal's famous $l^1$-dichotomy in Banach spaces, Haydon's theorem, and additionally by recent works on tame dynamical systems, we introduce the class of tame locally convex spaces. This is a natural locally convex analogue…

Let G be a compact group acting on a Banach space L by means of linear isometries. The action of G on L induces a natural continuous action on cc(L), the hyperspace of all compact convex subsets of L endowed with the Hausdorff metric…

In this paper, we study different kinds of normal properties for infinite system of arbitrarily many convex sets in a Banach space and provide the dual characterization for the normal property in terms of the extended Jamenson property for…
