For every Banach space Z with a shrinking unconditional basis satisfying an upper p-estimate for some p > 1, an isomorphically polyhedral Banach space is constructed which has an unconditional basis and admits a quotient isomorphic to Z. It follows that reflexive Banach spaces with an unconditional basis and non-trivial type, Tsirelson's original space and (P c0) ℓp for p ∈ (1, ∞), are isomorph...

Fixed point theorems for generalized Lipschitzian semigroups are proved in puniformly convex Banach spaces and in uniformly convex Banach spaces. As applications, its corollaries are given in a Hilbert space, in Lp spaces, in Hardy space Hp , and in Sobolev spaces Hk,p , for 1<p <∞ and k≥ 0.

Maximal monotone operators on a Banach space into its dual can be represented by convex functions bounded below by the duality product. It is natural to ask under which conditions a convex function represents a maximal monotone operator. A satisfactory answer, in the context of reflexive Banach spaces, has been obtained some years ago. Recently, a partial result on non-reflexive Banach spaces w...

For every α < ω1 we establish the existence of a separable Banach space whose Szlenk index is ω and which is universal for all separable Banach spaces whose Szlenkindex does not exceed ω. In order to prove that result we provide an intrinsic characterization of which Banach spaces embed into a space admitting an FDD with upper estimates.

We construct one-step iterative process for an α- nonexpansive mapping and a mapping satisfying condition (C) in the framework of a convex metric space. We study △-convergence and strong convergence of the iterative process to the common fixed point of the mappings. Our results are new and are valid in hyperbolic spaces, CAT(0) spaces, Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces, simultaneously.

We analyze the construction of a sequence space Θ̃, resp. a sequence of sequence spaces, in order to have {gi} ∞ i=1 as a Θ̃-frame or Banach frame for a Banach space X , resp. pre-F -frame or F -frame for a Fréchet space XF = ∩s∈N0Xs, where {Xs}s∈N0 is a sequence of Banach spaces.

The purpose of this article is to prove existence of mass minimizing integral currents with prescribed possibly non-compact boundary in all dual Banach spaces and furthermore in certain spaces without linear structure, such as injective metric spaces and Hadamard spaces. We furthermore prove a weak -compactness theorem for integral currents in dual spaces of separable Banach spaces. Our theorem...

We study interpolation, generated by an abstract method of means, of bilinear operators between quasi-Banach spaces. It is shown that under suitable conditions on the type of these spaces and the boundedness of the classical convolution operator between the corresponding quasi-Banach sequence spaces, bilinear interpolation is possible. Applications to the classical real method spaces, Calderón-...

In this paper we study conditions on a Banach space X that ensure that the Banach algebra K(X) of compact operators is amenable. We give a symmetrized approximation property of X which is proved to be such a condition. This property is satisfied by a wide range of Banach spaces including all the classical spaces. We then investigate which constructions of new Banach spaces from old ones preserv...
