Distance to a closed set. Is this result known?

Given a closed set $\varnothing\neq E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, let $\operatorname{Unp}(E)$ be the set if points $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ for which there is a unique point $y\in E$ nearest to $x$. Clearly $E\sub …

Is $L^p(X,\ell^p)$, $1<p<\infty$, uniformly convex?

Let $(X,\mu)$ be a measure space and let $1<p<\infty$. Question. Is the space $L^p(X,\ell^p)$, $$ \lVert f\rVert_p=\Bigl(\int_X\sum_{i=1}^\infty \lvert f_i\rvert^p\, dx\Bigr)^{1/p}, \qquad f=(f_i)_{i …

Uniformly convex Banach spaces

Theorem. If $X$ and $Y$ are uniformly convex Banach spaces, then for $1<p<\infty$ the space $$ X\oplus_pY=X\times Y, \qquad \Vert(x,y)\Vert:=(\Vert x\Vert_X^p+\Vert y\Vert_Y^p)^{1/p} $$ is uniformly …
