Given a closed set$C$in a Banach space$(X,\Vert \cdot \Vert )$, a point$x\in X$is said to have a nearest point in$C$if there exists$z\in C$such that$d_{C}(x)=\Vert x-z\Vert$, where$d_{C}$is the distance of$x$from$C$. We survey the problem of studying the size of the set of points in$X$which have nearest points in$C$. We then turn to the topic of delta convex functions and indicate how it is related to finding nearest points.

This chapter shows how spaces with separable dual admit a Fréchet smooth norm. It first considers a criterion of the differentiability of continuous convex functions on Banach spaces before discussing Fréchet smooth and nonsmooth renormings and Fréchet differentiability of convex functions. It then describes the connection between porous sets and Fréchet differentiability, along with the set of points of Fréchet differentiability of maps between Banach spaces. It also examines the concept of separable determination, the relevance of the σ‎-porous sets for differentiability and proves the existence of a Fréchet smooth equivalent norm on a Banach space with separable dual. The chapter concludes by explaining how one can show that many differentiability type results hold in nonseparable spaces provided they hold in separable ones.

This paper makes a unified development of what the authors know about the existence of nearest points to closed subsets of (real) Banach spaces. Our work is made simpler by the methodical use of subderivatives. The results of Section 3 and Section 7 in particular are, to the best of our knowledge, new. In Section 5 and Section 6 we provide refined proofs of the Lau-Konjagin nearest point characterizations of reflexive Kadec spaces (Theorem 5.11, Theorem 6.6) and give a substantial extension (Theorem 5.12). The main open question is: are nearest points dense in the boundary of every closed subset of every reflexive space? Indeed can a proper closed set in a reflexive space fail to have any nearest points? In Section 7 we show that there are some non-Kadec reflexive spaces in which nearest points are dense in the boundary of every closed set.

We study two variants of weak Hadamard differentiability of continuous convex functions on a Banach space, uniform weak Hadamard differentiability and weak Hadamard directional differentiability, and determine their special properties on Banach spaces which do not contain a subspace topologically isomorphic to l1.

We investigate the circumstances under which the distance function to a closed set in a Banach space having a one-sided directional derivative equal to 1 or −1 implies the existence of nearest points. In reflexive spaces we show that at a dense set of points outside a closed set the distance function has a directional derivative equal to 1.

For a locally Lipschitz function on a separable Banach space the set of points of Gâteaux differentiability is dense but not necessarily residual. However, the set of points where the upper Dini derivative and the Clarke derivative agree is residual. It follows immediately that the set of points of intermediate differentiability is also residual and the set of points where the function is Gâteaux but not strictly differentiable is of the first category.

Let Φ be a set-valued mapping from a Baire space T into non-empty closed subsets of a Banach space X, which is upper semi-continuous with respect to the weak topology on X. In this paper, we give a condition on T which is sufficient to ensure that Φ admits a selection which is norm continuous at each point of a dense and Gδ subset of T. We also derive a variation of James' characterisation of weak compactness, which we use in conjunction with our selection theorem, to deduce some differentiability results for continuous convex functions defined on dual Banach spaces.

AbstractWe consider rather a general class of equilibrium problems in a real Banach space, which involve nonsmooth convex functions. We apply the D-gap function approach to these problems and show that, under certain additional assumptions, they can be converted into a problem of finding a stationary point of a differentiable function. Based on this property, we suggest a descent type algorithm to find a solution to the initial problem. An example of applications to nonlinearly constrained equilibrium problems is also given.

For a strict u-ideal $X$ in a Banach space $Y$ we show that the set of points in the dual unit ball $B_{X^{\ast}}$, strongly exposed by points in the range $\it TY$ of the unconditional extension operator $T$ from $Y$ into the bidual $X^{\ast\ast}$ of $X$, is contained in the weak$^{\ast}$ denting points in $B_{X^{\ast}}$. We also prove that a u-embedded space is a u-summand if and only if it contains no copy of $c_0$ if and only if it is weakly sequentially complete.

In a recent paper the authors showed that certain set-valued mappings from a Baire space into subsets of a Banach space which have a continuity property defined in terms of Kuratowski's index of non-compactness have inherent single-valued properties. Here we generalise the continuity property to one defined in terms of a weak index of non-compactness and we show that this wider class of set-valued mappings also has significant implications for the differentiability of convex functions on Banach spaces.

In the paper we establish some conditions under which a given sequence of polynomials on a Banach space X supports entire functions of unbounded type, and construct some counter examples. We show that if X is an infinite dimensional Banach space, then the set of entire functions of unbounded type can be represented as a union of infinite dimensional linear subspaces (without the origin). Moreover, we show that for some cases, the set of entire functions of unbounded type generated by a given sequence of polynomials contains an infinite dimensional algebra (without the origin). Some applications for symmetric analytic functions on Banach spaces are obtained.
