Notes

  1. 1.

    Some authors have claimed, as we did in [14], that this definition was introduced in Jørgen’s paper Probability in Banach space [10] in 1977. However, after a careful reading of this paper, we do not think that this is correct.

  2. 2.

    The material up to this point has appeared in [14].
