Uniformly Strongly Convex Banach Spaces
摘要
In this paper, we introduce the notions called uniformly strongly convex and nearly U-convex Banach spaces, and investigate their properties. We characterize local uniform rotundity (LUR) in terms of these two notions. Uniform strong convexity is stronger than the well-known concept of strong convexity but weaker than LUR. We also consider notions that are weaker than uniform strong convexity.
