Abstract
A new drop property, the quasi-weak drop property, is introduced. Using streaming sequences introduced by Rolewicz, a characterisation of the quasi-weak drop property is given for closed bounded convex sets in a Fréchet space. From this, it is shown that the quasi-weak drop property is equivalent to weak compactness. Thus a Fréchet space is reflexive if and only if every closed bounded convex set in the space has the quasi-weak drop property.
