Abstract

Let C be a convex body (i.e., a proper closed convex subset with nonempty interior) in a normed space X. We consider four moduli of local uniform rotundity for C at a given point $x\in \partial C$, that extend in a natural way the corresponding notions for the unit ball $B_X$, and we prove that they all coincide. This extends a known result of J. Daneš from 1976 concerning the particular case when $C=B_X$.
