Vector-valued numerical radius and \(\sigma\)-porosity (Q6155846)

The author proves that, assuming that the Banach space \(X\) is a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth space, the set of all bounded linear operators attaining their numerical radius is not only dense (which is already known due to \textit{C.~S. Cardassi} [Bull. Aust. Math. Soc. 31, 1--3 (1985; Zbl 0557.47003)] or, later, \textit{S.~K. Kim} et al. [Abstr. Appl. Anal. 2014, Article ID 479208, 15~p. (2014; Zbl 1473.46011)]), but also it is the complement of a \(\sigma\)-porous subset. Moreover, the author introduces the notion of numerical radius to a large class of vector-valued operators defined from \(X \times X^*\) into a Banach space \(W\) and also provides similar results in this new direction. The Bishop-Phelps-Bollobás property for the numerical radius is also considered.
