The strong and uniform ball-covering properties

In this paper, we first introduce the formal definitions of the strong ball-covering property (SBCP) and the uniform ball-covering property (UBCP) for Banach spaces which implicitly appeared in the papers of Cheng, Shi and Zhang [4] and Fonf and Zanco [5]. While the SBCP and the BCP are equivalent under renormings, we show that there exist Banach spaces with the BCP but failing the SBCP. We also construct a Banach space having the SBCP but without the UBCP. Then we prove that the SBCP and the UBCP for a Banach space X pass to ℓp(X)1≤p≤∞ and Lp([0,1],X)(1≤p
