- For a Banach lattice $X$, its lattice Schäffer constant is defined by: \begin{gather*} λ^+(X)=\inf\{\max\{\|x+y\|,\|x-y\|\}\,\colon\,\|x\|=\|y\|=1,x,y\geq{\bf0}\}. \end{gather*} In this paper, we investigate this constant, as well as the companion parameter \begin{gather*} β(X)=\inf\{\|x\vee y\|\,\colon\,\mbox{$\|x\|=\|y\|=1$, $x,y\geq{\bf0}$ and $x\wedge y={\bf0}$}\}. \end{gather*} Our main results fall into two groups. (1) We link the behavior of the parameters $λ^+$ and $β$ to the global properties of the lattice $X$. For instance, we prove that (i) if $λ^+(X)>1$, then the Banach lattice $X$ is a KB-space, and moreover, it satisfies a lower $q$-estimate for some $q\in(1,\infty)$; (ii) $λ^+(X)=1$ if and only if $X$ contains lattice-almost isometric copies of $\ell_\infty^2$; and (iii) that $λ^+(X)=2$ if and only if $X$ is an abstract $L$-space. (2) We establish inequalities relating $λ^+(X)$ to the characteristics of monotonicity, $\varepsilon_{0,m}(X)$ and $\tilde\varepsilon_{0,m}(X)$. Along the way, we compute $λ^+(X)$ and $β(X)$ for various Banach lattices $X$.
