Abstract

In this study, we conduct a literature review on normed linear spaces whose strengths are between rotundity and uniform rotundity. In this discourse, we also explore inter-relationships and juxtapositions between the subjects under consideration. There has been some discussion on the extent to which the geometry of the factor spaces has an impact on the geometry of the product spaces, as well as the degree to which the quotient spaces and subspaces inherit the geometry of the space itself. A comprehensive review has been conducted on the applications of most of these rotundities to some fields within the realm of approximation theory. In addition, some open problems are enumerated in the paper.
