On $k-$WUR and its generalizations

TL;DR
The paper develops a comprehensive framework for $k$-generalized rotundity notions in real Banach spaces, introducing $k$-WUR and $k$-WLUR along with $k$-wSCh and $k$-wUSCh as tools to capture best-approximation behavior. It furnishes sequential and ball-based characterizations, links these properties to quotient structures, and analyzes stability under $\,ell_p$-product constructions. A major contribution is the characterization of $k$-WUR/$k$-WLUR in terms of $k$-wUSCh and the demonstration that infinite $\,ell_p$-products yield equivalences with their classical WUR/WLUR counterparts. The results unify and extend prior work on $k$-rotundity, providing exact conditions for inheritance in quotients and products and highlighting the nuanced relationships among generalized rotundity notions.
Abstract
We introduce two notions called $k-$weakly uniform rotundity ($k-$WUR) and $k-$weakly locally uniform rotundity ($k-$WLUR) in real Banach spaces. These are natural generalizations of the well-known concepts $k-$UR and WUR. By introducing two best approximation notions namely $k-$weakly strong Chebyshevity and $k-$weakly uniform strong Chebyshevity, we generalize some of the existing results to $k-$WUR and $k-$WLUR spaces. In particular, we present characterizations of $k-$WUR spaces in terms of $k-$weakly uniformly strong Chebyshevness. Also, the inheritance of the notions $k-$WUR and $k-$WLUR by quotient spaces are discussed. Further, we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for an infinite $\ell_p-$product space to be $k-$WUR (respectively, $k-$WLUR). As a consequence, we observe that the notions WUR and $k-$WUR coincide for an infinite $\ell_p-$product of a Banach space.
