Abstract

If ff is a real valued weakly lower semi-continous function on a Banach space XX and CC a weakly compact subset of XX, we show that the set of xXx \in X such that zxzf(z)z \mapsto \|x-z\|-f(z) attains its supremum on CC is dense in XX. We also construct a counter example showing that the set of xXx \in X such that zxz+zz \mapsto \|x-z\|+\|z\| attains its supremum on CC is not always dense in XX.
