The aim of this note is to study octahedrality in vector-valued Lipschitz-free Banach spaces on a metric space, under topological hypotheses on it, by analysing the weak-star strong diameter 2 property in Lipschitz function spaces. Also, we show an example that proves that our results are optimal and that octahedrality in vector-valued Lipschitz-free Banach spaces actually relies on the underlying metric space as well as on the Banach one.

We prove that, given any covering of any infinite-dimensional Hilbert space $H$ by countably many closed balls, some point exists in $H$ which belongs to infinitely many balls. We do that by characterizing isomorphically polyhedral separable Banach spaces as those whose unit sphere admits a point-finite covering by the union of countably many slices of the unit ball.

Unbiased stereological estimators of d-dimensional volume in ℝn are derived, based on information from an isotropic random r-slice through a specified point. The content of the slice can be subsampled by means of a spatial grid. The estimators depend only on spatial distances. As a fundamental lemma, an explicit formula for the probability that an isotropic random r-slice in ℝn through O hits a fixed point in ℝn is given.
