title = "On the norm of linear combinations of projections and some characterizations of Hilbert spaces",
abstract = "Let B be a Banach space and let P,Q (P,Q ≠ 0) be two complementary projections in B (i.e., P + Q = I). For dimB > 2 we show that formulas of the kind ||aP + bQ|| = f(a, b, ||P||) hold if and only if the norm in B can be induced by an inner product. The two-dimensional case needs special consideration which is done in the last two sections.",
