On a generalized James constant

We introduce a generalized James constant J(a, X) for a Banach space X, and prove that, if J(a, X) < (3 +a)/2 for some a ∈ [0, 1], then X has uniform normal structure. The class of spaces X with J (1, X) < 2 is proved to contain all u-spaces and their generalizations. For the James constant J(...
