We obtain a sufficient condition for the Ball Generated Property (BGP), and conclude that Property $(II)$ implies the BGP, which, in turn, implies the space is nicely smooth. We show that the class of nicely smooth spaces is stable under $c_o$ and $\\ell_p$ sums and also under finite $\\ell_1$ sums; that being nicely smooth is not a three space property; and that the Bochner $L_p$ spaces are nicely smooth if and only if $X$ is both nicely smooth and Asplund. A striking result obtained is that every equivalent renorming of a space is nicely smooth if and only if it is reflexive.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1996-05-09T00:00:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46B20", "46B22" ], "keywords": [ "nicely smooth banach spaces", "sufficient condition", "equivalent", "asplund spaces", "space property" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1996math......5213B" } } }
