Interpolation by weakly differentiable functions on Banach spaces (Q1323896)

Let \((a_ n)\) be a weakly null Schauder basis of a Banach space \(E\), and let \((\lambda_ n)\) be a convergent sequence of real numbers. The authors study the problem of finding an \(m\)-times weakly uniformly differentiable function \(f\) on \(E\) such that \(f(a_ n)= \lambda_ n\). They prove that this problem always has a solution for \(m=1\). In some cases they find a solution for \(m=\infty\), for instance when \(E\) is super-reflexive or when \((a_ n)\) is a symmetric basis and \(E\) does not contain a copy of \(c_ 0\). In these cases the nonreflexivity of the space of infinitely weakly uniformly differentiable functions on \(E\) is obtained as a consequence.
