Abstract

In this note we prove that every nearly uniformly convex space has normal structure and that K-uniformly convex spaces are super-reflexive.

We recall [1] that a Banach space is said to be Kadec–Klee if whenever xnx weakly and ∥n∥ = ∥x∥ = 1 for all n then ∥xnx∥ → 0. The stronger notions of nearly uniformly convex spaces and uniformly Kadec–Klee spaces were introduced by R. Huff in [1]. For the reader's convenience we recall them here.
