Boundedness and surjectivity in normed spaces

We define the (w* -) boundedness property and the (w* -) surjectivity property for sets in normed spaces. We show that these properties are pairwise equivalent in complete normed spaces by characterizing them in terms of a category-like property called (w* -) thickness. We give examples of interesti...
