We study and compare the notions of uniform convexity of functions at a point and on bounded sets with the notions of total convexity at a point and sequential consistency of functions, respectively. We establish connections between these concepts of strict convexity in infinite dimensional settings and use the connections in order to obtain improved convergence results concerning the outer Bregman projection algorithm for solving convex feasibility problems and the generalized proximal point algorithm for optimization in Banach spaces.

Keywords: Uniform convexity at a point, total convexity at a point, uniform convexity on bounded sets, sequential consistency, generalized proximal point algorithm for optimization, outer Bregman projection algorithm for feasibily.
