Chapter 8: Problem 26
Show that the canonical norm of \(\ell_{1}\) is nowhere Fr茅chet differentiable and is G芒teaux differentiable at \(x=\left(x_{i}\right)\) iff \(x_{i} \neq 0\) for every \(i\). If \(\Gamma\) is uncountable, show that the canonical norm of \(\ell_{1}(\Gamma)\) is not G芒teaux differentiable at any point. Hint: Let \(x \in S_{X} .\) Given \(\varepsilon>0\), find \(i\) such that \(\left|x_{i}\right|<\varepsilon / 2\) and consider \(h=\varepsilon e_{i} .\) Show that \(\|x \pm h\| \geq 1+\varepsilon / 2\) and use Lemma \(8.3\). Note that every vector in \(\ell_{1}(\Gamma)\) has a countable support, choose a standard unit vector outside this support, and use Lemma \(8.3 .\)
