The order-type Banach-Saks properties

Abstract

The study of the Banach-Saks property in Banach spaces has a long and illustrious history. Of late, motivated by applications in financial mathematics, interest has arisen in the Banach-Saks type properties with respect to order convergence. This paper presents a study of order Banach-Saks properties in Banach function spaces, and in particular in rearrangement invariant spaces. Among the results obtained, we provide some sufficient conditions for the (weak) order Banach-Saks property. We also characterize the (weak) order Banach-Saks property in Orlicz spaces. It is also shown that the (weak) order Banach-Saks property is equivalent to its hereditary version.
