An important consequence of the Hahn-Banach Theorem says that on any locally convex Hausdorff topological space $X$, there are sufficiently many continuous linear functionals to separate points of $X$. In the paper, we establish a `local'…

We show that a continuous additive positively homogeneous map from a closed not necessarily proper cone in a Banach space onto a Banach space is an open map precisely when it is surjective. This generalization of the usual Open Mapping…

Let $X$ be a real normed vector space with a cone $K\subseteq X$ satisfying either (i) $K$ is closed with non-empty interior or (ii) $K$ has non-zero extremals or (iii) $K$ is closed and $X$ is a Banach space. In this short note, we provide…

Cembranos and Freniche proved that for every two infinite compact Hausdorff spaces $X$ and $Y$ the Banach space $C(X\times Y)$ of continuous real-valued functions on $X\times Y$ endowed with the supremum norm contains a complemented copy of…

We establish the existence of loop type subcontinua of nonnegative solutions for a class of concave-convex type elliptic equations with indefinite weights, under Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. Our approach depends on local and…

The Krein-Milman theorem (1940) states that every convex compact subset of a Hausdorfflocally convex topological space, is the closed convex hull of its extreme points. In 1963, Ky Fan extended the Krein-Milman theorem to the general…

We show that the existence of a non-coercive Lyapunov function is sufficient for uniform global asymptotic stability (UGAS) of infinite-dimensional systems with external disturbances provided the speed of decay is measured in terms of the…

We discuss conditions under which a convex cone $\K\subset \R^{\Omega}$ admits a probability $m$ such that $\sup_{k\in \K} m(k)\leq0$. Based on these, we also characterize linear functionals that admit the representation as finitely…

We consider linear operators defined on a subspace of a complex Banach space into its topological antidual acting positively in a natural sense. The goal of this paper is to investigate of this kind of operators. The main theorem is a…

In this paper the theory of uniformly convex metric spaces is developed. These spaces exhibit a generalized convexity of the metric from a fixed point. Using a (nearly) uniform convexity property a simple proof of reflexivity is presented…

It is well known, as follows from the Banach-Steinhaus theorem, that if a sequence $\left\{y_{n}\right\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$ of linear continuous functionals in a Fr\'echet space converges pointwise to a linear functional $Y,$ $Y\left( x\right)…

The conic structure of the convex cone of non-negative operator convex functions on $(0,\infty)$ (also on $(-1,1)$) is clarified. We completely determine the extreme rays, the closed faces, and the simplicial closed faces of this convex…

Assume that $k \le d$ is a positive integer and $\C$ is a finite collection of convex bodies in $\R^d$. We prove a Helly type theorem: If for every subfamily $\C^*\subset \C$ of size at most $\max \{d+1,2(d-k+1)\}$ the set $\bigcap \C^*$…

We investigate isomorphic embeddings $T: C(K)\to C(L)$ between Banach spaces of continuous functions. We show that if such an embedding $T$ is a positive operator then $K$ is an image of $L$ under a upper semicontinuous set-function having…

We work in set-theory without choice ZF. Denoting by AC(N) the countable axiom of choice, we show in ZF+AC(N) that the closed unit ball of a uniformly convex Banach space is compact in the convex topology (an alternative to the weak…

We succeeded to isolate a special class of concave Young-functions enjoying the so-called \emph{density-level property}. In this class there is a proper subset whose members have each the so-called degree of contraction denoted by…

A Banach space $X$ is said to have Efremov's property ($\mathcal{E}$) if every element of the weak$^*$-closure of a convex bounded set $C \subseteq X^*$ is the weak$^*$-limit of a sequence in $C$. By assuming the Continuum Hypothesis, we…

A version of the classical Klee-And\^o Theorem states the following: For every Banach space $X$, ordered by a closed generating cone $C\subseteq X$, there exists some $\alpha>0$ so that, for every $x\in X$, there exist $x^{\pm}\in C$ so…

In this paper, we establish the following result: Let $(T,{\cal F},\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space, let $Y$ be a reflexive real Banach space, and let $\varphi, \psi:Y\to {\bf R}$ be two sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous…

In this paper, we study the problem of finding the extremal element for a linear functional over a uniformly convex Banach space. We show that a unique extremal element exists and depends continuously on the linear functional, and vice…
