Abstract. We give some sufficient conditions for normal structure in terms of the von Neumann-Jordan constant, the James constant and the weak orthogonality coefficient introduced by B. Sims. In the rest of the paper, the von Neumann-Jordan constant and the James constant for the Bynum space 2,∞ are computed, and are used to show that our results are sharp.

In this paper we exhibit some connections between the Dunkl-Williams constant and some other well-known constants and notions. We establish bounds for the Dunkl-Williams constant that explain and quantify a characterization of uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces in terms of the Dunkl-Williams constant given by M. Baronti and P.L. Papini. We also study the relationship between Dunkl-Williams constant, the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and normal structure.

We introduce a coefficient on general Banach spaces which allows us to derive the weak normal structure for those Banach spaces whose Banach-Mazur distance to James quasi reflexive space is less than
