Let \(E\) be a complex Banach space and \(C\) be a nonempty, bounded, closed convex subset of \(E\). Problem: If \(f\in E^*\) and \(\varepsilon> 0\), do there exist \(g\in E^*\) and \(x\in C\) such that \(| f- g|<\varepsilon\) and \(| g(x)|= \sup\{| g(y)|: y\in C\}\)? The author proves that the problem has an affirmative solution in the following cases: 1. If \(E\) is a real Banach space; 2. If \(C\) is a translate of a bounded, closed, convex, circled set \(D\), that is \(\alpha D\subset D\) for \(| \alpha|= 1\); 3. If \(E\) has the Radon-Nikodym property. There is an example given that the modulus support points of \(C\) need not be dense in the boundary of \(C\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0746.00071].
