Abstract:
A cone K in a vector space X is a subset which is closed under addition, positive scalar multiplication and the only element with additive inverse is zero. The pair (X, K) is called an ordered vector space. In this study, we consider the characterizations of reflexive Banach spaces. This is done by considering cones with bounded and unbounded bases and the second characterization is by reflexive cones. The relationship between cones with bounded and unbounded bases and reflexive cones is also considered. We provide an example to show distinction between such cones.
