Abstract

Let XY be two Banach spaces, \(f:X\rightarrow Y\) be an \(\varepsilon \)-isometry with \(f(0)=0\) for some \(\varepsilon \ge 0\), and let \(Y_f\equiv \overline{\mathrm{span}}f(X)\). In this paper, we first introduce a notion of \(w^*\)-stability of an \(\varepsilon \)-isometry f. Then we show that stability of f implies its \(w^*\)-stability; the two notions of stability and \(w^*\)-stability coincide whenever X is a dual space and they are not equivalent in general. Making use of a recent sharp weak stability estimate of f, we then improve some known results.
