Extension of Bernstein's theorem for polynomial maps of complex Banach spaces (Q791835)

Let E and F be arbitrary complex Banach spaces. For \(m=1,2,...\), we denote by \({\mathfrak P}(^ mE;F)\) the Banach spaces of all continuous m- homogeneous polynomials from E to F, and let \({\mathfrak P}(E;F)\) stand for the vector space of all continuous polynomials from E to F. Denote the closed unit balls of the spaces E and F by \(E_ 1\) and \(F_ 1\), respectively. The result of the paper is the following: Let \(P\in {\mathfrak P}(E;F)\), with deg P\(=N\). If \(P:E_ 1\to F_ 1,\) then \(\| DP(x)(x)\| \leq N\| x\|\) for \(x\in E_ 1\). This result is best possible and equality holds for \(P\in {\mathfrak P}(^ NE;F)\) and \(x\in E_ 1\) such that \(\| P(x)\| =\| x\| =1.\) The above theorem in the case \(E=F={\mathbb{C}}\), in an equivalent form, was proved by Bernstein, and an extension of Bernstein's theorem to the case of polynomial maps \(P:{\mathbb{C}}^ n\to {\mathbb{C}}\) was given by \textit{S. H. Tung} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 83, 103-106 (1981; Zbl 0477.32002); 85, 73-76 (1982; Zbl 0502.32004)].
