We give an existence criterion of such a space $X$ for a particular type of space $E$. We prove that such a space $X$ is unique, up to an isometry, for some classes of spaces $E$. We then deduce some results about isometries of certain Banach spaces and geometry of certain compact convex sets. Bibliography[1] E. ODELL and H.P.
