Abstract.A Banach space that has a locally uniformly convex (LUC) norm whose dual is also LUC is shown to admit Cl -smooth partitions of unity. It is also established that there is a norm on a Hubert space with Lipschitz derivative that cannot be approximated uniformly on bounded sets by functions with uniformly continuous second derivative.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
