We prove that in a Banach space with a Lipschitz uniformly Gateaux smooth bump function, every continuous function which is directionally differentiable on a dense Gδ subset of the space, is Gateaux differentiable on a dense Gδ subset of the space. Applications of this result are given.

This chapter introduces the notions of Γ‎-null and Γ‎ₙ-null sets, which are σ‎-ideals of subsets of a Banach space X. Γ‎-null set is key for the strongest known general Fréchet differentiability results in Banach spaces, whereas Γ‎ₙ-null set presents a new, more refined concept. The reason for these notions comes from an (imprecise) observation that differentiability problems are governed by measure in finite dimension, but by Baire category when it comes to behavior at infinity. The chapter first relates Γ‎-null and Γ‎ₙ-null sets to Gâteaux differentiability before discussing their basic properties. It then describes Γ‎-null and Γ‎ₙ-null sets of low Borel classes and presents equivalent definitions of Γ‎ₙ-null sets. Finally, it considers the separable determination of Γ‎-nullness for Borel sets.

AbstractWe prove that for every function f : X → Y , where X is a separable Banach space and Y is a Banach space with RNP, there exists a set A ∈ such that f is Gâteaux differentiable at all x ∈ S(f )\A, where S(f) is the set of points where f is pointwise-Lipschitz. This improves a result of Bongiorno. As a corollary, we obtain that every K-monotone function on a separable Banach space is Hadamard differentiable outside of a set belonging to ; this improves a result due to Borwein and Wang. Another corollary is that if X is Asplund, f : X → ℝ cone monotone, g : X → ℝ continuous convex, then there exists a point in X, where f is Hadamard differentiable and g is Fréchet differentiable.

Let (E, ρ) and (E*ρ*) be a real Banach space and its dual. Restrepo has shown in [4] that, if p and ρ* are both Fréchet differentiable, E is reflexive. The purpose of this note is to show that Fréchet differentiability cannot be replaced by Gateaux differentiability. This answers negatively a question raised by Wulbert [5]. In particular, we will renorm a certain nonreflexive space with a smooth norm whose dual is also smooth.

We study a nonsmooth extension of Gateaux differentiability satisfying a directional Hölder condition. In particular, we show that a Banach space is an Asplund space if it has an equivalent norm with a directionally Hölder right-hand derivative at each point of its sphere.

Let α be a nonnegative continuous function on ℝ. In this paper, the author obtains a necessary and sufficient condition for polynomials with gaps to be dense in Cα, where Cα is the weighted Banach space of complex continuous functions ƒ on ℝ with ƒ(t) exp(−α(t)) vanishing at infinity.

AbstractIt is shown that if a Banach space X admits a Ck-smooth bump function, and X* is Asplund, then X admits Ck-smooth partitions of unity.
