In a Banach space with a basis we define a similar norm to the norm shown by Lin to make l1 into a space with FPP and make a comparative study of certain geometric properties such as the Opial property, WNS, and uniform nonsquareness of the original space and the space with the new norm. 1. Introduction Dowling et al. in 1 defined a norm in l1 which was used by Lin 2 to exhibit an equivalent norm which makes l1 into a space with the fixed point property FPP. A similar norm can be defined in every Banach space X with a basis. Since l1 with its usual norm does not have FPP, we asked ourselves if this norm in these spaces would also improve properties that imply the weak fixed point property WFPP. We found out that in some instances it does, in some cases the original norm has better properties, and in some cases you cannot compare them. We give several examples to illustrate our assertions. 2. The Γ Norm in a Banach Space We start by giving the definition of the generalization of th
