Gao, Ji; Lau, Ka-Sing On two classes of Banach spaces with uniform normal structure. (English) Zbl 0757.46023 Stud. Math. 99, No. 1, 41-56 (1991). The authors give two classes of Banach spaces \(X\) that have uniform normal structure. The first class is closed under duality, and contains the uniformly convex spaces as well as the uniformly smooth spaces. The second class is defined by \(J(X)<3/2\), where \[ J(X)=\sup\{\| x+y\|\wedge\| x-y\|:\;\| x\|=\| y\|=1\}. \] Both classes of spaces are uniformly nonsquare, their properties are being studied.
