Short Answer

Expert verified
The canonical norm of \(\br\ell_1\br)\ is nowhere Fr茅chet differentiable and G芒teaux differentiable iff \(x_i \eq 0 \forall i\); the \(\br\ell_1(\Gamma)\br)\ norm is nowhere G芒teaux differentiable if \(\br\Gamma\br)\ is uncountable.

Step by step solution

01

Understand the canonical norm in \(\ell_1\)

The canonical norm in \(\ell_1\) space is given by \[ ||x||_1 = \sum_{i} |x_i| \] for a vector \(x = (x_i) \).
02

Definition of Fr茅chet Differentiability

A function is Fr茅chet differentiable at a point if it can be closely approximated by a linear map. For the norm in \(\ell_1\), this involves checking if there is a linear map that approximates the norm function at every point.
03

Show non-differentiability in \(\ell_1\)

To show that the \(\ell_1\) norm is nowhere Fr茅chet differentiable, consider any vector \(x \in \ell_1\). Suppose there exists a point where it is differentiable; we can then find a linear map that approximates the norm function at that point. However, the absolute value function \(|x_i|\) is not differentiable at 0 (which is necessarily involved due to the \(\ell_1\) structure). Thus, no such linear map consistently exists.
04

Definition of G芒teaux Differentiability

A function is G芒teaux differentiable at a point \(x\) if the directional derivative exists in every direction. For the norm in \(\ell_1\), this means checking if the directional derivatives \(\frac{d}{dt} \|x + th\|_1 |_{t=0}\) exist for all vectors \(h\).
05

G芒teaux Differentiability at Specific Points

Given that G芒teaux differentiability at a point \(x = (x_i)\) requires each \(x_i eq 0\), the absolute values behave smoothly away from zero. Hence, the directional derivative exists and the norm is G芒teaux differentiable iff \(x_i eq 0 \forall i\).
06

Uncountable Set \(\brGamma\) and Non-differentiability

If \(\Gamma\) is uncountable, consider a vector \(x \in S_X\) in \(\ell_1(\Gamma)\). By the problem hint, choose \(i \in \brGamma\) such that \(|x_i| < \frac{\brvarepsilon}{2}\) and consider \(h = \brvarepsilon e_i\). The norm modification suggests \(\br|x \pm h\br| \geq 1 + \frac{\brvarepsilon}{2}\), violating the condition for directional derivatives to exist uniformly.
07

Application of Lemma 8.3

According to Lemma 8.3, since every vector in \(\ell_1(\brGamma)\) has a countable support and the arguments extend from \(\ell_1\) detail, we confirm the norm doesn't meet G芒teaux differentiability criteria at any point.

Key Concepts

These are the key concepts you need to understand to accurately answer the question.

Fr茅chet Differentiability
Let's start by understanding what Fr茅chet differentiability means. A function is Fr茅chet differentiable at a point if it can be closely approximated by a linear map at that point. This means that for a given function, there should exist a linear map that approximates how the function behaves very closely.

In mathematical terms, if we have a function \( f \), it is Fr茅chet differentiable at a point \( x \) in a vector space if there exists a linear map \( A \) such that: \( \frac{||f(x+h) - f(x) - A(h)||}{||h||} \to 0 \text{ as } h \to 0 \).

For the canonical norm in \( \text{鈩搣_{1} \) space, denoted by \( ||x||_1 = \sum_{i} |x_i| \), showing Fr茅chet differentiability involves checking if there is such a linear map that can approximate the norm function at every point. Due to the nature of the absolute value function \( |x_i| \), particularly around 0, we find that the \( \text{鈩搣_{1} \) norm is nowhere Fr茅chet differentiable.

This is because the absolute value function is not differentiable at 0, making it impossible to find a consistent linear approximation that works across the entire space. Thus, the canonical norm in \( \text{鈩搣_{1} \) space is nowhere Fr茅chet differentiable.
G芒teaux Differentiability
Now, let's move on to G芒teaux differentiability. A function is G芒teaux differentiable at a point if the directional derivative exists in every direction. This means that for a function to be G芒teaux differentiable at a point \( x \), the derivative in the direction of any vector \( h \) should exist.

Formally, for a function \( f \) to be G芒teaux differentiable at \( x \), it should satisfy: \(\frac{d}{dt} f(x + th)|_{t=0} \) for all vectors \( h \).

When considering the canonical norm in \( \text{鈩搣_{1} \) space, i.e., \( ||x||_1 = \sum_{i} |x_i| \), we check if the directional derivatives exist. Given that G芒teaux differentiability at a point \( x = (x_i) \) requires each \( x_i \) not equal to zero, the absolute value behaves smoothly away from zero. Thus, the canonical norm in \( \text{鈩搣_{1} \) space is G芒teaux differentiable at \( x \) if and only if \( x_i eq 0 \) for every \( i \).

In essence, if none of the components of the vector \( x \) are zero, then the norm function behaves well enough in every direction to be considered G芒teaux differentiable.
Canonical Norm
The canonical norm in \( \text{鈩搣_{1} \) space is a fundamental concept in functional analysis. It's defined for a vector \( x = (x_i) \) in \( \text{鈩搣_{1} \) space by the sum of the absolute values of its components: \( ||x||_1 = \sum_{i} |x_i| \).

This norm measures the 'length' or 'size' of the vector in a specific way by summing up the magnitudes of all its components. It's called the canonical norm because it is a standard way to define the norm in this space.

Understanding the behavior of the canonical norm is crucial for studying differentiability properties. In particular, challenges in differentiability arise around zero due to the non-differentiable nature of the absolute value function at zero.

For example, when checking for G芒teaux differentiability of the canonical norm, we see that issues occur when any component \( x_i \) of the vector is zero. The smooth behavior away from zero ensures differentiability in those regions, but not at or around zero.
Vector Space
Lastly, let's touch on the concept of a vector space, a central building block in functional analysis. A vector space is a collection of vectors, which can be added together and multiplied (scaled) by numbers, called scalars.

In more formal terms, a vector space over a field \( F \) (like the field of real numbers \( \text{鈩潁 \)) is a set \( V \) equipped with two operations: vector addition and scalar multiplication. These operations must satisfy certain axioms such as associativity, commutativity, and distribution.

To give a concrete example, the set of all sequences of real numbers that converge to zero, denoted by \( \text{鈩搣_{1} \), forms a vector space. Vectors in \( \text{鈩搣_{1} \) can be added together, and scaled by real numbers, while satisfying the necessary axioms.

In this context, we often study norms like the canonical norm to measure the size or length of vectors within this space, thus allowing us to analyze properties such as convergence, continuity, and differentiability.

Let \(f, g\) be convex functions on a Banach space \(X\). The inf convolution of \(f\) and \(g\) is defined by \((f \diamond g)(x)=\inf \\{f(y)+g(x-y) ; y \in X\\}\) (it is defined so that its epigraph is the algebraic sum of the epigraphs of functions involved). Assume that \(X\) is a reflexive Banach space and \(f(x)=\|x\|_{1}^{2}, g(x)=\|x\|_{2}^{2}\) for some equivalent norms \(\|\cdot\|_{1}\) and \(\|\cdot\|_{2}\) on \(X\) such that \(\|\cdot\|_{1}\) is Fr茅chet smooth.

Let \(f\) be a continuous convex function defined on an open convex subset \(C\) of a Banach space \(X .\) Show that, for every \(x_{0} \in C\), there is a continuous convex function \(\tilde{f}\) defined on \(X\) and such that \(\tilde{f}=f\) on some neighborhood of \(x_{0}\). Hint: Define \(f\) by \(+\infty\) outside \(C\) and consider its inf convolution with the function \(\phi_{n}(x)=n\|x\| .\) Since \(f\) is locally Lipschitz, \(\tilde{f}=f \diamond \phi_{n}\) close to \(x_{0}\) for \(n\) large enough.

Let \(X\) be a reflexive Banach space whose norm is Fr茅chet differentiable. Show that if \(A_{1}, A_{2}\) are bounded closed convex subsets of \(X\) such that \(A_{1} \cap A_{2}=\emptyset\), then there are balls \(B_{1}, B_{2}\) such that \(A_{1} \subset B_{1}, A_{2} \subset B_{2}\), and \(B_{1} \cap B_{2}=\emptyset\).

We say that a subset \(A\) of a Banach space \(X\) has property \((*)\) if \(A\) is a nonempty, closed, convex, and bounded subset of \(X\) and cvery point \(a \in A\) is a proper support point; that is, given \(a \in A\), there exists \(a^{*}\) in \(X^{*}\) such that \(a^{*}(a)=\sup _{A}\left(a^{*}\right)\) and there is \(x \in A\) such that \(a^{*}(x)<\sup _{A}\left(a^{*}\right)\)

Show that if \(X\) is a separable Banach space such that its second dual norm is G芒teaux differentiable, then \(X^{*}\) is separable.
