    An Approximate Version of the Jordan von Neumann Theorem for Finite Dimensional Real Normed Spaces

    Full text link
    It is known that any normed vector space which satisfies the parallelogram law is actually an inner product space. For finite dimensional normed vector spaces over R, we formulate an approximate version of this theorem: if a space approximately satisfies the parallelogram law, then it has a near isometry with Euclidean space. In other words, a small von Neumann Jordan constant E + 1 for X yields a small Banach-Mazur distance with R^n, d(X, R^n) < 1 + B_n E + O(E^2). Finally, we examine how this estimate worsens as the dimension, n, of X increases, with the conclusion that B_n grows quadratically with n.Comment: Version 2 adds contact information for the author and actually states the correct Jordan-von Neumann theorem (oops!

    Geometrical constants of Day-James spaces (The generalization of function spaces and its enviroment)

    Get PDF
    We describe some recent results on the von Neumann-Jordan (NJ-) constant CNJ(X) and the related geometrical constants of concrete Banach spaces X. In particular, we calculate the constants for X being a class of Day-James spaces lp-lq by using the Banach-Mazur distance d(X, H) between X and H, where H is a two-dimensional inner product space

    Inspired by Clarkson's inequalities for LpL^p and continuing work from \cite{CR}, this paper computes the optimal constant CC in the weak parallelogram laws f+gr+Cfgr2r1(fr+gr), \|f + g \|^r + C\|f - g\|^r \leq 2^{r-1}\big( \|f\|^r + \|g\|^r \big), f+gr+Cfgr2r1(fr+gr) \|f + g \|^r + C\|f- g \|^r \geq 2^{r-1}\big( \|f\|^r + \|g \|^r \big) for the LpL^p spaces, 1<p<1 < p < \infty.Comment: 10 page

    A characterization of inner product spaces related to the p-angular distance

    Get PDF
    In this paper we present a new characterization of inner product spaces related to the p-angular distance. We also generalize some results due to Dunkl, Williams, Kirk, Smiley and Al-Rashed by using the notion of p-angular distance.Comment: 9 Pages, to appear in J. Math. Anal. Appl. (JMAA
