Given a closed set $C$ in a Banach space $(X, \|\cdot\|)$, a point $x\in X$ is said to have a nearest point in $C$ if there exists $z\in C$ such that $d_C(x) =\|x-z\|$, where $d_C$ is the distance of $x$ from $C$. We shortly survey the…

We study the almost Daugavet property, a generalization of the Daugavet property. It is analysed what kind of subspaces and sums of Banach spaces with the almost Daugavet property have this property as well. The main result of the paper is:…

We find conditions for a smooth nonlinear map $f:U\rightarrow V$ between open subsets of Hilbert or Banach spaces to be locally convex in the sense that for some $c$ and each positive $\varepsilon<c$ the image $% f(B_\varepsilon(x))$ of…

For each positive integer $m$ and each real finite dimensional Banach space $X$, we set $\beta(X,m)$ to be the infimum of $\delta\in (0,1]$ such that each set $A\subset X$ having diameter $1$ can be represented as the union of $m$ subsets…

We prove that if a metric space $M$ has the finite CEP then $\mathcal F(M)\widehat{\otimes}_{\pi} X$ has the Daugavet property for every non-zero Banach space $X$. This applies, for instance, if $M$ is a Banach space whose dual is…

We extend the (attaining of) strong diameter two property to infinite cardinals. In particular, a Banach space has the 1-norming attaining strong diameter two property with respect to $\omega$ (1-ASD2P$_\omega$ for short) if every convex…

Given a finite covering by closed convex sets of $B_X$, the unit ball of an infinite-dimensional Banach space, we investigate whether there is a set of the covering that contains balls of radius close to $1$ and (a) arbitrarily high finite…

Heinrich, Mankiewicz, Sims, and Yost proved that every separable subspace of a Banach space $Y$ is contained in a separable ideal in $Y$. We improve this result by replacing the term "ideal" with the term "almost isometric ideal". As a…

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…

The isodiametric inequality states that the Euclidean ball maximizes the volume among all convex bodies of a given diameter. We are motivated by a conjecture of Makai Jr.~on the reverse question: Every convex body has a linear image whose…

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…

Generalizing the notion of numerical range and numerical radius of an operator on a Banach space, we introduce the notion of joint numerical range and joint numerical radius of tuple of operators on a Banach space. We study the convexity of…

In this article, we study the ccs-Daugavet, ccs-$\Delta$, super-Daugavet, super-$\Delta$, Daugavet, $\Delta$, and $\nabla$ points in the unit balls of vector-valued function spaces $C_0(L, X)$, $A(K, X)$, $L_\infty(\mu, X)$, and $L_1(\mu,…

It is proved that the linearity of metric projections on subspaces and the convexity of the polars of the convex cones in the uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space are equivalent, and both of them is equivalent with the fact…

Covering a convex body by its homothets is a classical notion in discrete geometry that has resulted in a number of interesting and long-standing problems. Swanepoel introduced the covering parameter of a convex body as a means of…

The main results of the paper: {\bf (1)} The dual Banach space $X^*$ contains a linear subspace $A\subset X^*$ such that the set $A^{(1)}$ of all limits of weak$^*$ convergent bounded nets in $A$ is a proper norm-dense subset of $X^*$ if…

The paper continues our previous work [7] on the radius of subregularity that was initiated by Asen Dontchev. We extend the results of [7] to general Banach/Asplund spaces and to other classes of perturbations, and sharpen the coderivative…

The concept of a profile decomposition formalizes concentration compactness arguments on the functional-analytic level, providing a powerful refinement of the Banach-Alaoglu weak-star compactness theorem. We prove existence of profile…

We study the metric entropy of the metric space $B_n$ of all n-dimensional Banach spaces (the so-called Banach-Mazur compactum) equipped with the Banach-Mazur (multiplicative) "distance" $d$. We are interested either in estimates…

In this article, we examine the theorem of Mattila establishing rectifiability for regular sets in the setting of strictly convex, finite-dimensional Banach spaces.
