Weak compactness in \(L^ 1_ E\) (Q1110043)

Let (X,\({\mathfrak U},\mu)\) be a finite measure space. Let K be a convex weakly compact subset of a Banach space E. \(L^ 1_ E\) being the space of Bochner integrable functions f: \(X\to E\), then the set \(\{\) f: \(X\to K\); \(f\in L^ 1_ E\}\) is weakly compact. This results from the work of \textit{J. Diestel} [Glasg. Math. J. 18, 87-91 (1977; Zbl 0342.46020)]. In this paper, the author, supposing the more general case when E is a locally convex Hausdorff space, gives a new proof of the same result.
