Convergence of continuous linear functionals and their level sets

From MaRDI portal





Let \(X\) be a real Banach space with continuous dual \(X^*\). We characterize both norm and weak* convergence of sequences in \(X^*\) to a nonzero limit in terms of the convergence of the level sets of the linear functionals. When \(X\) is reflexive, norm convergence is equivalent to the Mosco convergence of level sets. Using this fact, we show that Mosco convergence of sequences of closed convex sets in a reflexive space may be properly stronger than pointwise convergence of the distance functions for the sets in the sequence.
