It has been shown previously that the Lp(μ) spaces for 1 < p ≤ 2 satisfy a weak parallelogram law, and the same methods can be used to show that the Lp(μ) spaces for 2 ≤ p <∞ satisfy a related weak parallelogram law. This paper obtains several equivalent characterizations of Banach spaces which satisfy one of these two weak parallelogram laws. One such characterization involves the conditions on the moduli of convexity and smoothness analyzed by Lindenstrauss.
