In 1932 Mazur and Ulam posed the theory of isometry and then defined the concept of conservative(or preserved) distance. The basic problem of conservative distance is whether the existence of a single conservative distance for some f implies that f is an isometry of metric space X into metric space Y. This is called the Alexandrov problem. The problem was posed in 1970 by Alexandrov. In recent years, Hahng-Yun Chu defined the concept of 2-isometry in linear 2-normed space and proved the theorem of Mazur-Ulam when X and Y were linear 2-normed space. After that, Chu et.al provided the concept of n-isometry in linear n-normed space and solved the Alexandrov problem in linear n-normed space. In 2009, Gao Jinmei introduced linear(2,p)-normed space and solved the Alexandrov problem in linear (2, p)-normed space.This dissertation consists of three chapters.In the first chapter, we introduce some characterizations of n-isometry and related results and theorems in linear n-normed space. In [14], the author introduced some characterizations of 2-isometry and related results and theorems. the characterizations of n-isometry in this chapter is generated on the basic of 2-isometry. Take the general-ization from weak 2-isometry to weak n-isometry for example:Let X and Y be linear 2-normed spaces and f :Xâ†'Y be a mapping. Then f is called a weak 2-isometry if for everyε> 0, there existsδ> 0 such that impliesThen next is the generalized weak n-isometry:Let X and Y be linear n-normed spaces and f :Xâ†'Y be a mapping. Then f is called a weak n-isometry if for x0, x1,…,xn∈X, everyε> 0, there existsδ> 0 such that impliesIn addition, we also prove that the Riesz theorem holds in linear n-normed space.In the second chapter, we consider the Alexandrov problem of distance preserving mappings. We first give some generalizations of earlier results. Then we introduce the concept of linear (n,p)-normed spaces on the basic of linear (2,p)- normed spaces. Here is the conceptLet X be a real linear space with dim X≥n and be a function. Suppose 0< p< 1. Then (X,‖·,…,·‖) is called a linear (n,p)-normed space if are linearly dependent; for every permutation is called a linear (n,p)-normed space.Besides that, we also solve the Alexandrov problem for linear (n,p)-normed spaces.In the third chapter, we first introduce the random normed space and t-norm. Then we prove the Mazur-Ulam theorem under some special conditions in random normed space. |
