This is a survey of results on the classification of Banach spaces as metric spaces. It is based on a series of lectures I gave at the Functional Analysis Seminar in 1984-1985, and it appeared in the 1984-1985 issue of the Longhorn Notes. I keep receiving requests for copies, because some of the material here does not appear elsewhere and because the Longhorn Notes are not so easy to get. Havin...

This is a survey about some problems from the theory of holomorphic functions on Banach spaces which have attracted the attention of many researchers during the last thirty years.

We prove a structural property of the class of unconditionally saturated separable Banach spaces. We show, in particular, that for every analytic set A, in the Effros-Borel space of subspaces of C[0, 1], of unconditionally saturated separable Banach spaces, there exists an unconditionally saturated Banach space Y , with a Schauder basis, that contains isomorphic copies of every space X in the c...

In this note I prove several things about compact linear operators from one Banach space to another, especially from a Banach space to itself. Some of these may things be simpler to prove for compact operators on a Hilbert space, but since often in analysis we deal with compact operators from one Banach space to another, such as from a Sobolev space to an L space, and since the proofs here are ...

Type and cotype are computed for Banach spaces generated by some positive sublinear operators and Banach function spaces. Applications of the results yield that under certain assumptions Clarkson’s inequalities hold in these spaces.

The origin of Korovkin Approximation theory is the classical theorem of P.P. Korovkin (1953),which says that for a sequence (Tn) of positive linear operators on C[a, b], in order to conclude the uniform convergence of Tnf to f for all f ∈ C[a, b], it suffices to check the uniform convergence only for the three functions f ∈ {1, x, x2}. Starting from this beautiful result many mathematicians hav...

where here, and in what follows, Eε denotes the expectation with respect to uniformly chosen ε = (ε1, . . . , εn) ∈ {−1, 1}. The infimum over all constants T for which (1.1) holds is denoted by Tp(X). An important theorem of Ribe [12] states that Banach spaces which are uniformly homeomorphic must have the same isomorphic local properties. In other words, any property which remains valid under ...

in this paper, a fuzzy version of the analytic form of hahn-banachextension theorem is given. as application, the hahn-banach theorem for$r$-fuzzy bounded linear functionals on $r$-fuzzy normedlinear spaces is obtained.

Increasing sequences of contractive projections on a reflexive LP space share an unconditionality property similar to that exhibited sequences of self-adjoint projections on a Hilbert space. A slight variation of this property is shown to be precisely the correct condition on a reflexive Banach space to ensure that every operator with a contractive AC-functional calculus is scalar-type spectraL
