%0 Journal Article %A Jiménez Sevilla, María Del Mar %A Moreno, José Pedro %T On denseness of certain norms in Banach spaces %D 1996 %@ 0004-9727 %U https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/58716 %X We give several results dealing with denseness of certain classes of norms with many vertex points. We prove that, in Banach spaces with the Mazur or the weak* Mazur intersection property, every ball (convex body) can be uniformly approximated by balls (convex bodies) being the closed convex hull of their strongly vertex points. We also prove that given a countable set F, every norm can be uniformly approximated by norms which are locally linear at each point of F. %~
