Abstract

Some relations between the James (or non-square) constant $J(X)$ and the Jordan–von Neumann constant $C_{\rm NJ}(X)$, and the normal structure coefficient $N(X)$ of Banach spaces $X$ are investigated. Relations between $J(X)$ and $J(X^*)$ are given as an answer to a problem of Gao and Lau [16]. Connections between $C_{\rm NJ}(X)$ and $J(X)$ are also shown. The normal structure coefficient of a Banach space is estimated by the $C_{\rm NJ}(X)$-constant, which implies that a Banach space with $C_{\rm NJ}(X)$-constant less than 5/4 has the fixed point property.
