Manifolds of smooth maps
It is proved that no convex and Fréchet differentiable function on c0(w1), whose derivative is locally uniformly continuous, attains its minimum at a unique point.
We improve a theorem of P.G. Georgiev and N.P. Zlateva on Gâteaux differentiability of Lipschitz functions in a Banach space which admits a Lipschitz uniformly Gâteaux differentiable bump function. In particular, our result implies the following theorem: If is a distance function determined by a closed subset of a Banach space with a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm, then the set of points of at which is not Gâteaux differentiable is not only a first category set, but it is even -porous...
Equivalent conditions for the separability of the range of the subdifferential of a given convex Lipschitz function defined on a separable Banach space are studied. The conditions are in terms of a majorization of by a -smooth function, separability of the boundary for or an approximation of by Fréchet smooth convex functions.
It is shown that the order of Gateaux smoothness of bump functions on a wide class of Banach spaces with unconditional basis is not better than that of Fréchet differentiability. It is proved as well that in the separable case this order for Banach lattices satisfying a lower p-estimate for 1≤ p < 2 can be only slightly better.
