Geometric Properties of Banach Spaces and Nonlinear Iterations

The contents of this monograph fall within the general area of nonlinear functional analysis and applications. We focus on an important topic within this area: geometric properties of Banach spaces and nonlinear iterations, a topic of intensive research efforts, especially within the past 30 years, or so. In this theory, some geometric properties of Banach spaces play a crucial role. In the first part of the monograph, we expose these geometric properties most of which are well known. As is...
