We also explore weak L-P property, a recently introduced concept in the study of extreme contractions. We obtain a sufficient condition for a pair of finite-dimensional polyhedral Banach spaces to satisfy weak L-P property. As an application of these results, we explicitly compute the number of extreme contractions in some special Banach spaces. Our approach in this paper in studying extreme contractions lead to the improvement and generalization of previously known results.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-27T08:24:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46B20", "47L05" ], "keywords": [ "finite-dimensional polyhedral banach spaces", "smoothness", "characterization", "satisfy weak l-p property", "special banach spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
