The purpose of this paper is to introduce and discuss the concept of orthogonality in normed spaces. A concept of orthogonality on normed linear space was introduced. We obtain some subspaces of Banach spaces which are topologically complemented.

The complemented subspace problem asks, in general, which closed subspaces M of a Banach space X are complemented; i.e. there exists a closed subspace N of X such that X = M ⊕ N? This problem is in the heart of the theory of Banach spaces and plays a key role in the development of the Banach space theory. Our aim is to investigate some new results on complemented subspaces, to present a history...

Finite point configurations in projective spaces are combinatorially described by matroids, where full (finite) projective spaces correspond to connected modular matroids. Every representable matroid can in fact be extended to a modular one. However, we show that some matroids do not even have a modularly complemented extension. Enlarging the class of “ambient spaces” under consideration, we sh...

The Banach space `∞/c0 is isomorphic to the linear space of continuous functions on N∗ with the supremum norm, C(N∗). Similarly, the canonical representation of the `∞ sum of `∞/c0 is the Banach space of continuous functions on the closure of any non-compact cozero subset of N∗. It is important to determine if there is a continuous linear lifting of this Banach space to a complemented subset of...
