Recently, Jiménez-Melado et al. [Jiménez-Melado A., Llorens-Fuster E., Mazcuñán-Navarro E.M., The DunklWilliams constant, convexity, smoothness and normal structure, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 2008, 342(1), 298-310] defined the Dunkl-Williams constant DW(X ) of a normed linear space X . In this paper we present some characterizations of this constant. As an application, we calculate DW( 2 -∞ ) in the Day-James space 2 -∞ .
