A Birkhoff-James cosine function for normed linear spaces

The cosine function is a classical tool for measuring angles in inner product spaces, and it has various extensions to normed linear spaces. In this paper, we investigate a cosine function for the convex angle formed by two nonzero elements of a complex normed linear space, in connection with recent results on the Birkhoff-James approximate orthogonality sets.
