In this paper we present a new criterion on characterization of real inner product spaces. We conclude that a real normed space $(X, \|...\|)$ is an inner product space if $$\sum_{\epsilon_i \in \{-1,1\}} \|x_1 +…

We prove that the existence of best coapproximation to any element of the normed linear space out of any one dimensional subspace and its coincidence with the best approximation to that element out of that subspace characterizes a real…

We show that a normed linear space is isometrically isomorphic to an inner product space if and only if it is a strongly $n$-point homogeneous metric space for any (or every) $n \geqslant 3$. The counterpart for $n=2$ is the Banach-Mazur…

For the vectors $x$ and $y$ in a normed linear spaces $X$, the mapping $n_{x,y}: \mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ is defined by $n_{x,y}(t)=\|x+ty\|$. In this note, comparing the mappings $n_{x,y}$ and $n_{y,x}$ we obtain a simple and useful…

We give a new characterisation of inner product spaces amongst normed vector spaces in terms of the maximal cirumradius of spheres. It turns out that a normed vector space $(X,\norm{\cdot})$ with $\dim X\geq 2$ is an inner product space if…

We obtain a complete characterization of the norm attainment set of a bounded linear functional on a normed space, in terms of a semi-inner-product defined on the space. Motivated by this result, we further apply the concept of…

Let $X$ be a real normed space with unit sphere S. We prove that $X$ is an inner product space if and only if there exists a real number $\rho=\sqrt{(1+\cos\frac{2k\pi}{2m+1})/2}$, $(k=1,2,\ldots , m ;\:m=1,2,\ldots)$, such that every chord…

We prove a generalization of the polarization identity of linear algebra expressing the inner product of a complex inner product space in terms of the norm, where the field of scalars is extended to an associative algebra equipped with an…

The main purpose of this paper is to generalize and develop a few basic properties of the innerproduct space on a hypervector space. On this hypervector space we define the norm. Also we establish a important relation between normed…

A vector space is commonly defined as a set that satisfies several conditions related to addition and scalar multiplication. However, for beginners, it may be hard to immediately grasp the essence of these conditions. There are probably a…

We introduce a product in all complex normed vector spaces, which generalizes the inner product of complex inner product spaces. Naturally the question occurs whether the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is fulfilled. We provide a positive answer.…

In this paper we parallelly build up the theories of normed linear spaces and of linear spaces with indefinite metric, called also Minkowski spaces for finite dimensions in the literature. In the first part of this paper we collect the…

In this paper there are considered some scalar valued groupoid bihomomorphism structures, being in fact the groupoid counterparts of the inner product notion originally defined for vectors. These bihomomorphisms, called here the semi-inner…

In this paper we develop a duality theory for all finite-dimensional near-vector spaces and introduce a notion of inner product tailored to the broad and natural class of strongly regular near-vector spaces. This generalized construction…

We suggest a concept of generalized `angles' in arbitrary real normed vector spaces. We give for each real number a definition of an `angle' by means of the shape of the unit ball. They all yield the well known Euclidean angle in the…

A space is called minimal if it admits a minimal continuous selfmap. We give examples of metrizable continua $X$ admitting both minimal homeomorphisms and minimal noninvertible maps, whose squares $X\times X$ are not minimal, i.e., they…

A real finite-dimensional space with indefinite scalar product having v- negative squares and v+ positive ones is considered. The paper presents a classification of operators that are normal with respect to this product for the cases…

The paper studies a general norm minimization problem on a product of normed vector spaces. We establish dual necessary and sufficient optimality conditions and derive explicit formulas for the corresponding solution sets. These formulas…

Let $X_0, X_1, ..., X_k$ with $k \in \IN\cup\{\infty\}$ be sequence spaces $($finite or infinite dimensional$)$ over $\IC$ or $\IR$ with absolute norms $N_i$ for $i = 0, ..., k$, $($i.e., with 1-unconditional bases$)$ such that $\dim X_0 =…

We define a set inner product to be a function on pairs of convex bodies which is symmetric, Minkowski linear in each dimension, positive definite, and satisfies the natural analogue of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality (which is not implied…
