The well known Bishop-Phelps Theorem asserts that the set of norm attaining linear forms on a Banach space is dense in the dual space [3]. This note is an outline of recent results by Y. S. Choi [5] and C. Finet and the author [7], which clarify the relation between two different ways of extending this theorem.
Let be the class of Banach spaces X for which every weakly quasi-continuous mapping f: A → X defined on an α-favorable space A is norm continuous at the points of a dense subset of A. We will show that this class is stable under c₀-sums and -sums of Banach spaces for 1 ≤ p < ∞.
A Banach space which is a Cech-analytic space in its weak topology has fourteen measure-theoretic, geometric and topological properties. In a dual Banach space with its weak-star topology essentially the same properties are all equivalent one to another.
Let K be a non-archimedean valued field which contains Qp and suppose that K is complete for the valuation |·|, which extends the p-adic valuation. Vq is the closure of the set {aqn|n = 0,1,2,...} where a and q are two units of Zp, q not a root of unity. C(Vq → K) is the Banach space of continuous functions from Vq to K, equipped with the supremum norm. Our aim is to find normal bases (rn(x)) for C(Vq → K), where rn(x) does not have to be a polynomial.
Every Orlicz space equipped with Orlicz norm has weak sum property, therefore, it has weakly normal structure and fixed point property. A criterion of sum property also of normal structure for such spaces is given as well, which shows that every Orlicz space has isonormal structure.
Let ϕ: ℝ → ℝ₊ ∪ 0 be an even convex continuous function with ϕ(0) = 0 and ϕ(u) > 0 for all u > 0 and let w be a weight function. u₀ and v₀ are defined by u₀ = supu: ϕ is linear on (0,u), v₀=supv: w is constant on (0,v) (where sup∅ = 0). We prove the following theorem. Theorem. Suppose that (respectively, ) is an order continuous Lorentz-Orlicz space. (1) has normal structure if and only if u₀ = 0 (respectively, (2) has weakly normal structure if and only if .
We give a polynomial version of Shmul'yan's Test, characterizing the polynomials that strongly attain their norm as those at which the norm is Fréchet differentiable. We also characterize the Gateaux differentiability of the norm. Finally we study those properties for some classical Banach spaces.
