“…Later, it was shown by Szlenk [33] that the non-uniformly convex Banach space L 1 [0, 1) also has the Banach-Saks property. More recently, Banach-Saks property and Banach-Saks type properties have been actively studied in the class of separable rearrangement invariant (r.i.) function spaces X with the Fatou property [10], [9], [32], [31], [3], [4] (all relevant definitions are given below). A general approach employed in these articles goes back to the paper [15] (see also the paper of Gaposhkin [13]) which studied weakly null sequences and martingale differences in classical L p -spaces.…”
