Abstract:
We study the $\lambda$-property for the space $\mathfrak {C}(T,X)$ of continuous and bounded functions from a topological space T into a strictly convex Banach space X. We prove that the $\lambda$-property for $\mathfrak {C}(T,X)$ is equivalent to an extension property for continuous functions of the pair (T, X). We show also that, when X has even dimension, the $\lambda$-property is equivalent to the fact that the unit ball of $\mathfrak {C}(T,X)$ is the convex hull of its extreme points and that this last property is true if X is infinite dimensional. As a result we get that the identity mapping on the unit ball of an infinite-dimensional strictly convex Banach space can be expressed as the average of four retractions of the unit ball onto the unit sphere.References
