Tóm tắt

Let T~=∑i=1 n ũi⊗rvi:V → V=[v1,. . . .,vn]⊂ X, where ũi∈ V* and X is a Banach space. Let T= ∑i=1 nui⊗vi: X→ V be an extension of T~ to all of X (i.e., ui∈ X*) such that T has minimal (operator) norm. (E.g., if T~=I, T is a minimal projection from X onto V.) Then it is necessary and sufficient that u:=u_1,. . . ,un is given by (v:=v1,. . . ,vn) extv(u)∈ Vn,where the notion of a v-extremal (“extv”) of u is properly defined. The condition above leads in many important cases to a simple geometric interpretation of minimal projections. Furthermore, by applying this formula to the case X=Lp, we obtain a linear n-dimensional analog of the Hölder equality condition (M is given by extv(u)=Mv) 1/p u′ · Mv = 1/q u · Mv′, wherever v is differentiable. We point out several applications, including the determination of the absolute projection constant of ℓ
