1. Introduction Uniform nonsquareness of Banach spaces has been defined by R.C. James as the geometric property which implies super-reflexivity (see [3,11]). So, proving this property of a Banach space we know, without any characterization of the dual space, that it is super-reflexive, so reflexive as well. Recently J. Garcia-Falset, E. Llorens-Fuster and E.M. Mazcuñan-Navarro have shown that uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have the fixed point property (see [1]). Therefore, it was natural and interesting to look for criteria of non-squareness properties in various well-known classes of Banach spaces. In 2013, P. Foralewski, H. Hudzik and P. Kolwicz have given criteria for uniform nonsquareness and locally uniformly nonsquareness of Orlicz–Lorentz sequence spaces (see [2]). The topic of this paper is related to the topic of [5–10] and [17–29]. The criteria for uniform nonsquareness and locally uniform nonsquareness in the classical Orlicz function spaces have been given in [4,23,24] already. However, because of the complicated structure of Orlicz–Bochner function spaces equipped with Orlicz norm, up to now the criteria for uniform nonsquareness and locally uniform nonsquareness have not been discussed yet. The aim of this paper is to give criteria for uniform nonsquareness and locally uniform nonsquareness of Orlicz–Bochner function spaces equipped with Orlicz norm. Although, criteria for uniform nonsquareness and locally uniform nonsquareness in Orlicz function spaces were known, we can easily deduce them from our main results. Moreover, we give a sufficient condition for an Orlicz–Bochner function space to have the fixed point property. Let (X,  · ) be a real Banach space. S(X) and B(X) denote the unit sphere and the unit ball of X, respectively. Let us recall some geometrical notions concerning nonsquareness. A Banach space X is said to be a nonsquare space if for any x, y ∈ S(X) we have min{x + y, x − y} < 2. A Banach space X is said to be a uniformly nonsquare space if for any x, y ∈ S(X), there exists δ > 0 such that min{x + y, x − y} < 2 − δ. A Banach space X is said to be a locally uniformly nonsquare space if for any x ∈ S(X), there exists δx > 0 such that min{x + y, x − y} < 2 − δx for any y ∈ S(X). 2. Preliminaries Definition 1. A function M : R → R+ is called an N -function if it has following properties: (1) if M is even, continuous convex and M (0) = 0; (2) M (u) > 0 for any u = 0; (3) limu→0 M (u)/u = 0 and limu→∞ M (u)/u = ∞. Let (T, Σ, μ) be a nonatomic finite measurable space. Moreover, for a given Banach space (X,  · ), we denote by XT the set of all strongly μ-measurable function from T to X, and for each u ∈ XT , we define the modular of u by

  M u(t) dt.

ρM (u) = T

Put  LM (X) =

 u(t) ∈ XT :

   M λu(t) dt < ∞ for some λ > 0 .

T

It is well known that Orlicz–Bochner spaces LM (X) are Banach spaces when they are equipped with the Luxemburg norm   u ≤1 u = inf λ > 0 : ρM λ 

or with the Orlicz norm u0 = inf

k>0

1 + ρM (ku) . k

In particular, LM (R) and L0M (R) are said to be Orlicz function spaces. It is well known that u ≤ u0 ≤ 2u. Set  K(u) =

k>0:

  1 1 + ρM (ku) = u0 . k

Since limu→∞ M (u)/u = ∞, the set K(u) are nonempty (see [4]). Let p(u) denote the right derivative of M (u) at u ∈ R+ , q(v) be the generalized inverse function of p(u) defined on R+ by

q(v) = sup u ≥ 0 : p(u) ≤ v u≥0

 |v| Then we call N (v) = 0 q(s)ds the complementary function of M . It is well known that there holds the Young inequality uv ≤ M (u) + N (v) and uv = M (u) + N (v) ⇔ u = |q(v)| sign v or v = |p(u)| sign u. Moreover, it is well known that M and N are complementary to in the sense of Young each other. Definition 2. (See [4].) We say that an Orlicz function M satisfies condition Δ2 (M ∈ Δ2 ) if there exist K > 2 and u0 ≥ 0 such that M (2u) ≤ KM (u) (u ≥ u0 ) In this case, we write M ∈ Δ2 or N ∈ ∇2 .

We know (see [4,21] and [23]) that if M ∈ ∇2 , then for any u0 > 0, α ∈ (0, 1) there exists δ > 0 such that M (αu) ≤ (α − δ)M (u) (u ≥ u0 ). First let us recall some results that will be used in the further part of the paper. Lemma 1. (See [4] and [21].) If N ∈ Δ2 , λ0 ∈ (0, 1), then for every w > 0, λ ∈ (0, λ0 ], there exist numbers a = a(w) ∈ (0, 1) and γ = γ(a(w), λ0 ) ∈ (0, 1) such that   M λu + (1 − λ)v ≤ λ(1 − γ)M (u) + (1 − λ)M (v) holds true for all u ≥ w and v satisfying | uv | ≤ a. Lemma 2. (See [4].) (a) If N ∈ Δ2 , then set {K(u) : u ∈ S(L0M (X))} is bounded. (b) If M ∈ Δ2 and N ∈ Δ2 , then there exists δ ∈ (0, 1) such that   inf K(u) : u ∈ S L0M (X) > 1 + δ. 3. Main results Theorem 1. The Orlicz–Bochner function space L0M (X) is a uniformly nonsquare space if and only if (a) M ∈ Δ2 and N ∈ Δ2 ; (b) X is a uniformly nonsquare space. In order to prove the theorem, we give some lemmas. Lemma 3. (See [27].) A Banach space X is uniformly nonsquare space if and only if there exists δ1 > 0 such that for any elements x1 , x2 ∈ X\{0}, we have



δ min{x1 , x2 } . 1− x1  + x2 

min x1 + x2 , x1 − x2  ≤ x1  + x2 

 

Lemma 4. Let X be a uniformly nonsquare space and M ∈ Δ2 , N ∈ Δ2 . Then for any l ≥ m > 0 and w > 0, there exists r = r(w, m, l) ∈ (0, 1) such that the inequality  r

   1  1  M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  k1 k2   k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 k2 k1 + k2 M x1 + x2  + M x1 − x2  ≥ k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 k2 k1 + k2

holds true for all x1 , x2 ∈ X, k1 , k2 ∈ R+ satisfying max{k1 x1 , k2 x2 } ≥ w, m ≤ min{k1 x1 , k2 x2 }, max{k1 , k2 } ≤ l.

Proof. For any l ≥ m > 0 and w > 0, take x1 , x2 ∈ X\{0} and k1 , k2 ∈ R+ such that max{k1 x1 , k2 x2 } ≥ w, m ≤ min{k1 x1 , k2 x2 }, max{k1 , k2 } ≤ l. Moreover, we have 0<

k1 1 1 l < 1. = ≤ m = k 2 k1 + k2 1+ l l+m 1 + k2

Similarly, we have 1 < k2 /(k1 + k2 ) ≤ l/(l + m) < 1. Therefore, by Lemma 1, there exist l numbers a = a(w) ∈ (0, 1) and γ = γ(a(w), l+m ) = γ(w, m, l) ∈ (0, 1) such that

(1)

for all u ≥ w and v satisfying | uv | ≤ a. Moreover, we may assume without loss of generality that k1 x1  = max{k1 x1 , k2 x2 }. For the clarity, we will divide the proof into two parts. I. Suppose that k2 x2 /k1 x1  < a. Noticing that max{k1 x1 , k2 x2 } ≥ w, m ≤ min{k1 x1 , k2 x2 }, max{k1 , k2 } ≤ l, by inequality (1), we have  k1 k2 k1 + k2 M x1 − x2  k1 k2 k1 + k2  k1 + k2 k1 k2 ≤ M k1 x1  + k2 x2  k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 + k2       k2 k1 k1 + k2 (1 − γ)M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  ≤ k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 + k2    1  1 ≤ (1 − γ)M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  k1 k2     1  1 1  = M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  − γM k1 x1  . k1 k2 k1

(2)

Similarly, we have  k1 + k2 k1 k2 M x1 + x2  k1 k2 k1 + k2      1  1 1 ≤ M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  − γM k1 x1  . k1 k2 k1

(3)

Noticing that max{k1 x1 , k2 x2 } ≥ w, max{k1 , k2 } ≤ l and m ≤ min{k1 x1 , k2 x2 }, we have 1 m < , lk1 k1

1 m 1 m 1 = · < < . lk2 l k2 l k1

Therefore, by inequality (2)–(4), we obtain

Let r1 = 1 − 1 − (m/2l)γ. It is easy to see that r1 ∈ (0, 1). Therefore,  r1

II. Suppose that k2 x2 /k1 x1  ≥ a. Then k1 x1 /k2 x2  < 1/a. Moreover, we have k1 x1  1 mx1  ≤ < lx2  k2 x2  a



x1  l < x2  ma



max{x1 , x2 } l < . min{x1 , x2 } ma

Hence min{x1 , x2 } = x1  + x2  1+

1 max{x1 ,x2 } min{x1 ,x2 }



1 am . = l l + am 1 + am

By Lemma 3, we may assume without loss of generality that    δ min{x1 , x2 } . x1 − x2  ≤ x1  + x2  1 − x1  + x2  Therefore, using Lemma 3 and inequality (5), we get

k1 k2 M x1 − x2  k1 + k2





k1 k2 ≤ M (1 − η) k1 x1  + k2 x2  k1 + k2 k1 + k2  k1 k2 k1 x1  + k2 x2  ≤ (1 − η)M k1 + k2 k1 + k2       k1 k2 M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  . (6) ≤ (1 − η) k1 + k2 k1 + k2

Therefore, by inequality (7), we obtain   k1 + k2 k1 k2 M (k1 x1 ) M (k2 x2 ) . M x1 − x2  ≤ (1 − η) + k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 k2

(7)

Since M ∈ Δ2 , then there exists kl = kl (a, w) = kl (w) > 1 such that M ((1/a)u) ≤ kl M (u), u ≥ aw. Let βa = 1/kl , v = u/a. Then M (av) ≥ βa M (v), v ≥ w. By max{k1 x1 , k2 x2 } ≥ w and k1 x1  = max{k1 x1 , k2 x2 }, we have k1 x1  ≥ w. Hence     M ak1 x1  ≥ βa M k1 x1  .

(8)

Moreover, by the convexity of M , we have  M (k1 x1 ) M (k2 x2 ) k1 + k2 k1 k2 M x1 + x2  ≤ + . k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 k2 Therefore, by inequalities (7)–(9) and k2 x2 /k1 x1  ≥ a, we obtain   k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 k2 k1 + k2 M x1 − x2  + M x1 + x2  k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 k2 k1 + k2    2  2  M (k1 x1 ) M (k2 x2 ) + ≤ M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  − η k1 k2 k1 k2     1   2  2  1  M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  ≤ M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  − η k1 k2 l l         2 1  2 1 M ak1 x1  + M ak1 x1  ≤ M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  − η k1 k2 l l

Noticing that   k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 k2 k1 + k2 M x1 − x2  + M x1 + x2  > 0, k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 k2 k1 + k2 we obtain that 1 − (ηβα m)/(2l) ∈ (0, 1). Finally, combining the considerations from Parts I and II and denoting  ηβα m , r = max r1 , 1 − 2l 

we get the inequality    1  1  r M k1 x1  + M k2 x2  k1 k2   k1 + k2 k1 + k2 k1 k2 k1 k2 ≥ M x1 + x2  + M x1 − x2  . k1 k2 k1 + k2 k1 k2 k1 + k2 

This completes the proof. 2 Proof of Theorem 1. Necessity. Let us assume that L0M (X) is uniformly nonsquare. Since L0M (R) is a subspace of L0M (X) isomorphically, we obtain that L0M (R) is a uniformly nonsquare space. Hence we have that M ∈ Δ2 and N ∈ Δ2 . Suppose that (b) is not ∞ true. Then there exist {xn }∞ n=1 ⊂ S(X) and {yn }n=1 ⊂ S(X) such that xn + yn  → 2 and xn − yn  → 2 as n → ∞. Pick d > 0 and set u(t) = d · x · χT (t),

un (t) = d · xn · χT (t),

vn (t) = d · yn · χT (t),

n = 1, 2, ...

0 ∞ 0 0 It is easy to see that {un }∞ n=1 ⊂ LM (X), {vn }n=1 ⊂ LM (X) and u ∈ LM (X). Moreover, 0 0 0 we have u = un  = vn  , n = 1, 2, .... We may assume without loss of generality 0 ∞ 0 0 that {un }∞ n=1 ⊂ S(LM (X)), {vn }n=1 ⊂ S(LM (X)) and u ∈ S(LM (X)). Pick kn ∈ K(un ) ∞ and ln ∈ K(vn ). Since N ∈ Δ2 , by Lemma 2, we obtain that {kn }∞ n=1 and {ln }n=1 are bounded sequences. We may assume without loss of generality that kn → k0 and ln → l0 as n → ∞. Let hn = (kn ln )/(kn + ln ) and h0 = (k0 l0 )/(k0 + l0 ). By the Fatou Lemma, we have

Moreover, by the convexity of M , we have    kn ln 1

kn + ln 1 + ρM (un + vn ) ≤ 1 + ρM (kn un ) + 1 + ρM (ln vn ) kn ln kn + ln kn ln = un 0 + vn 0 = 2. This means that lim sup n→∞

1 + ρM hn (un + vn ) ≤ 2. hn

Hence we have   1

1 + ρM hn (un + vn ) = lim un + vn 0 = 2. n→∞ hn n→∞ lim

Similarly, we have un − vn 0 → 2 as n → ∞, a contradiction. Hence we obtain that X is a uniformly nonsquare space. Sufficiency. Let l = sup{K(u) : u ∈ S(L0M (X))}, 1 + δ = inf{K(u) : u ∈ S(L0M (X))}. Since M ∈ Δ2 and N ∈ Δ2 , by Lemma 2, we have l < ∞ and δ > 0. Take u1 , u2 ∈ 1 ), E1 = {t ∈ T : k1 u1 (t) < S(L0M (X)), k1 ∈ K(u1 ), k2 ∈ K(u2 ). Let w = 1l M −1 ( 4·μT w} and E2 = {t ∈ T : k2 u2 (t) < w}. Then

The Orlicz function space L0M (R) is a uniformly nonsquare space if and only if M ∈ Δ2 and N ∈ Δ2 . Theorem 2.

In order to prove the theorem, we give a lemma. Lemma 5. (See [5].) Let X be a locally uniform nonsquare space. Then: (a) For any x = 0, r1 ≥ r2 > 0, we have

inf x + y − min x + y, x − y : x ∈ X, r2 ≤ y ≤ r1 > 0;

y=0

(b) If xn → x, then limn→∞ δ(xn ) = δ(x), where

δ(x) = inf x + y − min x + y, x − y : x ∈ X, r2 ≤ y ≤ r1 . y=0

Proof of Theorem 2. Sufficiency. Suppose that the assumptions about M and X are 0 satisfied and that there exist u ∈ S(L0M (X)) and {vn }∞ n=1 ⊂ S(LM (X)) such that u + vn 0 → 2 and u − vn 0 → 2 as n → ∞. Let k ∈ K(u), ln ∈ K(vn ). Since N ∈ Δ2 , by Lemma 2, we obtain that {ln }∞ n=1 is a bounded sequence. We may assume without loss of generality that ln → l as n → ∞. We will derive a contradiction for each of the following two cases. Case 1. There exist ε0 > 0, σ0 > 0 such that μGn > ε0 , where Gn = {t ∈ T : ln vn (t) ≥ σ0 }. Since ln − 1 = ρM (ln vn ), we may assume without loss of generality that 2l − 1 ≥ ρM (ln vn ) whenever n ∈ N . Put  Hn =

  t ∈ T : σ0 ≤ ln vn (t) ≤ M −1

We have  2l − 1 ≥

  M ln vn (t) dt ≥



  M ln vn (t) dt ≥

4 μ(Gn \Hn ). ε0 (2l − 1)

This implies that μ(Gn \ Hn ) ≤ 14 ε0 . Hence, μHn > 12 ε0 . We define the function 

      η(t) = inf u(t) + y − min u(t) + y , u(t) − y  : y=0

σ0 ≤ y ≤ M −1



4 ε0 (2l − 1)



on T0 , where T0 = {t ∈ T : u(t) = 0}. By Lemma 5, we have η(t) > 0 μ-a.e. on T0 . Let hn (t) → u(t) μ-a.e. on T0 , where hn (t) is a simple function. Hence        ηn (t) = inf hn (t) + y − min hn (t) + y , hn (t) − y  : y=0

σ0 ≤ y ≤ M −1



4 ε0 (2l − 1)

is μ-measurable. By Lemma 5, we have ηn (t) → η(t) μ-a.e. on T0 . Then η(t) is μ-measurable. Using the inclusion T ⊃

∞  i=1

 1 1 t ∈ T0 : < η(t) ≤ , i+1 i

we get that there exists η0 > 0 such that μH < 18 ε0 , where

H = t ∈ T : η(t) ≤ 2η0 . Let En = Hn \H, En1 = (Hn ∩ {t ∈ T : u(t) = 0})\H and En2 = (Hn ∩ {t ∈ T : u(t) = 0})\H. It is easy to see that En = En1 ∪ En2 , En1 ∩ En2 = ∅ and μEn ≥ 38 ε0 . By Lemma 3, we have         u(t) + vn (t) − min u(t) + vn (t), u(t) − vn (t) ≥ η(t) ≥ 2η0 whenever t ∈ En1 . We may assume without loss of generality that there exists Fn1 ⊂ En1 such that μFn1 ≥

Moreover, we know that for any u ≥ v > 0, λn ∈ (0, 1), we have

a contradiction. Case 2. For any ε > 0, σ > 0, there exists a natural number N such that μ{t ∈ T : ln vn (t) ≥ σ} < ε whenever n > N . By the Risez theorem, there exists a subsequence {n} of {n} such that ln vn (t) → 0 μ-a.e. on T . Using the inclusion ∞

T0 = t ∈ T : ku(t) = 0 .

whenever c ∈ (0, h]. Since vn (t) → 0 μ-a.e. on T , by the Egorov theorem, there exists a natural number N1 , if n > N1 , then ln vn (t) < h on F , where 8μ(T \F ) < μT1 .

Therefore, by inequality (19) and (20), we have   λn M (u1 ) + (1 − λn )M (v1 ) − M λn u1 + (1 − λn )v1   ≥ λn M (u2 ) + (1 − λn )M (v2 ) − M λn u3 + (1 − λn )v3 , where λn ∈ (0, 1).

> 0, a contradiction. Hence we obtain that L0M (X) is a locally uniformly nonsquare spaces. Necessity. Since L0M (X) is a locally uniform nonsquare space and L0M (R) is embedded into L0M (X) isomorphically, we obtain that L0M (R) is a locally uniformly nonsquare space. This implies that N ∈ Δ2 . Suppose that X is not a locally uniformly nonsquare space. Then there exist x ∈ S(X) and {yn }∞ n=1 ⊂ S(X) such that x + yn  → 2 and x − yn  → 2 as n → ∞. Put u(t) = x · χT (t),

vn (t) = yn · χT (t),

n = 1, 2, ...

It is easy to see that u, vn ∈ L0M (X). We may assume without loss of generality that u, vn ∈ S(L0M (X)). Then vn (t) ∈ S(L0M (X)). Let ln ∈ K(vn ) and k0 ∈ K(u). Since N ∈ Δ2 , by Lemma 2, we obtain that {ln }∞ n=1 is a bounded sequence. Hence we may assume without loss of generality that ln → l0 as n → ∞. Let hn = (k0 ln )/(k0 + ln ) and h0 = (k0 l0 )/(k0 + l0 ). By the Fatou Lemma, we have         1 1

Similarly, we have u − vn 0 → 2 as n → ∞, a contradiction. Hence we obtain that X is a locally uniformly nonsquare space. This completes the proof. 2 Corollary 2. The Orlicz function space L0M (R) is a locally uniformly nonsquare space if and only if N ∈ Δ2 . 4. Applications to fixed point property of Orlicz–Bochner function spaces One of the classical problems of metric fixed point theory concerns existence of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings from nonempty bounded closed and convex sets into themselves. Let C be a nonempty bounded closed and convex subset of a Banach space X. A mapping T : C → C is nonexpansive if T x − T y ≤ x − y for all x, y ∈ C. A Banach space X is said to have the fixed point property (FPP) if every such mapping has a fixed point. Adding the assumption that C is weakly compact in this condition, we obtain the definition of the weak fixed point property (WFPP). In 1965, F. Browder [12] proved that Hilbert spaces have FPP. In the same year, Browder [13] and D. Gohde [14] showed independently that uniformly convex spaces have FPP, and W.A. Kirk [15] proved a more general result stating that all Banach spaces with weak normal structure have WFPP. Major progress in fixed point problems for nonexpansive mappings has been made recently. In 2003 (published in 2006), Jesús García-Falset and Enrique Llorens-Fuster, Eva M. Mazcuñan-Navarro (see [1]) solved a long-standing problem in the fixed point theory by proving FPP for all uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces. In 2004, Dowling, Lennard and Turett [16] proved that a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of c0 has FPP if and only if it is weakly compact. Using Theorem 1, we give a sufficient condition for an Orlicz–Bochner function space L0M (X) to have the fixed point property. Theorem 3. If (a) M ∈ Δ2 and N ∈ Δ2 ; (b) X is uniformly nonsquare space, then the Orlicz–Bochner function space L0M (X) have the fixed point property. Proof. By [1], we know that uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings. Using Theorem 1, it is easy to see that L0M (X) have the fixed point property. 2 References [1] J. García-Falset, E. Llorens-Fuster, E.M.
