Let Bk denote the Euclidean unit ball in ℝκ equipped with the k-dimensional Lebesgue measure and let φ: ℝ+ → ℝ+ be a convex function satisfying φ(0) = 0, φ(t) > 0 for some t > 0. Denote by Eφ = Eφ(Bk) the Orlicz space of finite elements (see (1.6)) generated by φ. The aim of this paper is to show that there exists a retraction of the closed unit ball in Eφ onto the unit sphere in Eφ being a (2 + ɛ)γφ;-set contraction (Theorem 3.6), which generalises [9, Corollary 6] proved for the case of Lp[−1, 1], 1 ≤ p < ∞. Here γφ, denote the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness. This theorem is proved both for the Amemiya and the Luxemburg norms. Also some related results concerning the case of s-convex (0 < s ≤ 1) functions are presented.
