Onn-normed spaces

Abstract

Given ann-normed space withn≥2, we offer a simple way to derive an(n−1)-norm from then-norm and realize that anyn-normed space is an(n−1)-normed space. We also show that, in certain cases, the(n−1)-norm can be derived from then-norm in such a way that the convergence and completeness in then-norm is equivalent to those in the derived(n−1)-norm. Using this fact, we prove a fixed point theorem for somen-Banach spaces.
