In this paper, we study some problems in semi-amenability of Banach algebras which have been studied in amenability case. We extend some definitions and concepts for semi-amenability, that is, we introduce approximately semi-amenability, semi-contractibility with solving some problems which former have been studied for amenability case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-05-26T03:39:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "banach algebra", "amenability case", "banach space", "derivation", "semi-inner" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
