We give a new proof of a recent characterization by Diaz and Mayoral of compactness in the Lebesgue-Bochner spaces L X , where X is a Banach space and 1 ≤ p < ∞, and extend the result to vector-valued Banach function spaces EX , where E is a Banach function space with order continuous norm. Let X be a Banach space. The problem of describing the compact sets in the Lebesgue-Bochner spaces LpX , ...

We define the convolution of Banach space valued ultradistributions in the sense of Braun, Meise, and Taylor. We then treat abstract Cauchy problems in Banach spaces as convolution equations and give a characterization of those problems that have ultradistributional fundamental solutions. Our characterization extends in the Beurling case a result due to H.A. Emamirad. We apply our result to dif...

In this paper, we show that a closed convex set C of a Banach space is strongly proximinal (proximinal, resp.) in every Banach space isometrically containing it if and only if C is locally (weakly, resp.) compact. As a consequence, it is proved that local compactness of C is also equivalent to that for every Banach space Y isometrically containing it, the metric projection from Y to C is nonemp...
