Problem 19.1

For XX a normed linear space with closed unit ball BB, suppose that the function f:B→[−1,1]f: B \rightarrow [-1,1] has the property that whenever u,v,u+vu, v, u+v, and λu\lambda u belong to B,f(u+v)=f(u)+f(v)B, f(u+v) = f(u)+ f(v) and f(λu)=λf(u)f(\lambda u) = \lambda f(u). Show that ff is the restriction to BB of a linear functional on all of XX which belongs to the closed unit ball of X∗X^{*}.

Problem 19.2

Let XX be a normed linear space and KK be a bounded convex weak-* closed subset of X∗X^{*}. Show that KK possesses an extreme point.

Problem 19.3

Show that any non-empty weakly open set in an infinite dimensional normed linear space is unbounded with respect to the norm.

Problem 19.4

Use the Baire Category Theorem and the preceding problem to show that the weak topology on an infinite dimensional Banach space is not metrizable by a complete metric.
