* The modulus of convexity, ''δ''(''ε''), is a [[monotonic function|non-decreasing]] function of ''ε'', and {{nowrap|''δ''(''ε'')&thinsp;/&thinsp;''ε''}} is also non-decreasing on&nbsp;{{nowrap|(0, 2]}}.<ref>Lemma 1.e.8, p.&nbsp;66 in {{harvtxt|Lindenstrauss|Tzafriri|1979}}.</ref> The modulus of convexity need not itself be a [[convex function]] of&nbsp;''ε''.<ref>see Remarks, p.&nbsp;67 in {{harvtxt|Lindenstrauss|Tzafriri|1979}}.</ref>
* (''X'',&nbsp;||&nbsp;||) is a [[uniformly convex space]] [[if and only if]] its characteristic of convexity ''ε''<sub>0</sub> is equal to&nbsp;0.
* (''X'',&nbsp;||&nbsp;||) is a [[strictly convex space]] (i.e., the boundary of the unit ball ''B'' contains no line segments) if and only if ''δ''(2)&nbsp;=&nbsp;1.
