SET QUANTITIES AND TAUBERIAN OPERATORS SERGIO FALCON AND KISHIN SADARANGANI Received 6 July 2001 The concept of convexity plays an important role in the classical geometry of normed spaces and it is frequently used in several branches of nonlinear analysis. In recent years some papers that contain generalizations of the concept of convexity with the help of the measures of noncompactness have appeared. The Tauberian operators were introduced by Kalton and Wilansky (1976) and they appear in the literature with the aim of responding to some questions related with the summability and the factorization of operators; in the preservation by isomorphisms in Banach spaces, and so forth. In this paper we make the study of the Tauberian operators, not starting from the Euclidean distance, but by means of general set quantities. 1. Introduction The concept of convexity plays an important role in the classical geometry of normed spaces. It is frequently used in the metric fixed point theory and other branches of nonlinear analysis [6, 8, 9, 11, 13]. In recent years there have appeared some papers that contain generalizations of the concept of convexity with the help of the measures of noncompactness [3, 12, 13]. Recently, Cabrera [7] has introduced the concept of weak near uniform convexity using the De Blasi measure of weak noncompactness [ 10]. In order to recall this concept we introduce some notation. Assume that (E, ·) is an infinite-dimensional Banach space with the zero element θ . Denote by BE and SE the closed unit ball and the unit sphere in E, respectively. For a subset X of E we denote by conv X the convex hull and by Conv X the convex closed hull of X. Moreover, if we assume that X is a nonempty and bounded set in E then the quantity χ(X) defined in the following way: χ(X) = inf { 0 : there exists Copyright © 2001 Hindawi Publishing Corporation Abstract and Applied Analysis 6:
