Abstract: We introduce and study the notion of generating operators as those norm-one operators

G c o l o n X l o n g r i g h t a r r o w Y

such that for every

0 < d e l t a < 1

, the set

x i n X c o l o n | x | l e q 1, | G x | > 1 - d e l t a

generates the unit ball of

X

by closed convex hull. This class of operators includes isometric embeddings, spear operators (actually, operators with the alternative Daugavet property), and other examples like the natural inclusions of

e l l_{1}

into

c_{0}

and of

L_{i} n f t y [0, 1]

into

L_{1} [0, 1]

. We first present a characterization in terms of the adjoint operator, make a discussion on the behaviour of diagonal generating operators on

c_{0}

-,

e l l_{1}

-, and

e l l_{i} n f t y

-sums, and present examples in some classical Banach spaces. Even though rank-one generating operators always attain their norm, there are generating operators, even of rank-two, which do not attain their norm. We discuss when a Banach space can be the domain of a generating operator which does not attain its norm in terms of the behaviour of some spear sets of the dual space. Finally, we study when the set of all generating operators between two Banach spaces

X

and

Y

generates all non-expansive operators by closed convex hull. We show that this is the case when

X = L_{1} (m u)

and

Y

has the Radon-Nikod'ym property with respect to

m u

. Therefore, when

X = e l l_{1} (G a m m a)

, this is the case for every target space

Y

. Conversely, we also show that a real finite-dimensional space

X

satisfies that generating operators from

X

to

Y

generate all non-expansive operators by closed convex hull only in the case that

X

is an

e l l_{1}

-space.
