Abstract
In this paper we apply ideas from the theory of Uniform Distribution of sequences to Functional Analysis and then drawing inspiration from the consequent results, we study concepts and results in Uniform Distribution itself. so let E be a Banach space. then we prove:
-
(a)
If F is a bounded subset of E and \(x \in \overline {{\rm{co}}} (F)\) (= the closed convex hull of F), then there is a sequence (xn) ⊆ F which is Cesàro summable to x.
-
(b)
If E is separable, F ⊆ E* bounded and \(f \in {\overline {{\rm{co}}} ^{{w^ \ast}}}\,(F)\), then there is a sequence (fn) ⊆ F whose sequence of arithmetic means \({{{f_1} + \cdots +{f_N}} \over N}\), N ≥ 1 weak*-converges to f.
By the aid of the Krein-Milman theorem, both (a) and (b) have interesting implications for closed, convex and bounded subsets Ω of E such that \(\Omega = \overline {{\rm{co}}} ({\rm{ex}}\,\Omega)\) and for weak* compact and convex subsets of E*. Of particular interest is the case when Ω = BC(K)*, where K is a compact metric space.
By further expanding the previous ideas and results, we are able to generalize a classical theorem of Uniform Distribution which is valid for increasing functions φ: I =[0,1] → ℝ with φ(0) = 0 and φ(1) = 1, for functions φ of bounded variation on I with φ(0) = 0 and total variation V01φ = 1.
