A complete characterization of smoothness in the space of bounded linear operators

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We completely characterize smoothness of bounded linear operators between infinite dimensional real normed linear spaces, probably for the very first time, by applying the concepts of Birkhoff-James orthogonality and semi-inner-products in normed linear spaces. In this context, the key aspect of our study is to consider norming sequences for a bounded linear operator, instead of norm attaining elements. We also obtain a complete characterization of smoothness of bounded linear operators between real normed linear spaces, when the corresponding norm attainment set non-empty. This illustrates the importance of the norm attainment set in the study of smoothness of bounded linear operators. Finally, we prove that G^{a}teaux differentiability and Fr'{e}chet differentiability are equivalent for compact operators in the space of bounded linear operators between a reflexive Kadets-Klee Banach space and a Fr'{e}chet differentiable normed linear space, endowed with the usual operator norm.
