In this paper, we give the concepts of properly distributed and simply distributed sequences, and prove that they are almost convergent. Basing on these, we review the work of Feng and Li [Feng, B. Q. and Li, J. L., Some estimations of Banach limits, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 323(2006) No. 1, 481-496. MR2262220 46B45 (46A45).], which is shown to be a special case of our generalized theory. 1. prelim...

The Hahn-Banach theorem is one of the most fundamental theorems in the functional analysis theory. This theorem is well known in the case where the range space is the real number system as follows. Let p be a sublinear mapping from a vector space X into the real number system R, Y a subspace of X, and q a linear mapping from Y into R such that q ≤ p on Y. Then there exists a linear mapping g fr...

Let X and Y be compact Hausdorff spaces, and E, F be Banach lattices. Let C(X,E) denote the Banach lattice of all continuous E-valued functions on X equipped with the pointwise ordering and the sup norm. We prove that if there exists a Riesz isomorphism Φ : C(X,E) → C(Y, F ) such that Φf is non-vanishing on Y if and only if f is non-vanishing on X, then X is homeomorphic to Y , and E is Riesz i...
