Two mappings associated with the lower and upper semi-inner products \((\cdot ,\cdot)_i\) and \((\cdot ,\cdot)_s\) and with semi-inner product \([\cdot ,\cdot ]\) (in the sense of Lumer) are introduced. The mappings generate the norm of a real normed linear space. Monotonicity and boundedness of these mappings is studied and it is given a refinement of the Schwarz inequality, applications to the Birkhoff orthogonality, to smoothness of normed linear spaces as well as to the characterization of best approximants.
