This chapter shows that if a Banach space with a Fréchet smooth norm is asymptotically smooth with modulus o(tⁿ logⁿ⁻¹(1/t)) then every Lipschitz map of X to a space of dimension not exceeding n has many points of Fréchet differentiability. In particular, it proves that two real-valued Lipschitz functions on a Hilbert space have a common point of Fréchet differentiability. The chapter first presents the theorem whose assumptions hold for any space X with separable dual, includes the result that real-valued Lipschitz functions on such spaces have points of Fréchet differentiability, and takes into account the corresponding mean value estimate. The chapter then gives the estimate for a “regularity parameter” and reduces the theorem to a special case. Finally, it discusses simplifications of the arguments of the proof of the main result in some special situations.Less

This book deals with the existence of Fréchet derivatives of Lipschitz functions from X to Y, where X is an Asplund space and Y has the Radon-Nikodým property (RNP). It considers whether every countable collection of real-valued Lipschitz functions on an Asplund space has a common point of Fréchet differentiability. It also examines the conditions under which all Lipschitz mapping of X to finite dimensional spaces not only possess points of Fréchet differentiability, but possess so many of them that even the multidimensional mean value estimate holds. Other topics include the notion of the Radon-Nikodým property and main results on Gâteaux differentiability of Lipschitz functions and related notions of null sets; separable determination and variational principles; and differentiability of Lipschitz maps on Hilbert spaces.Less

This chapter shows how spaces with separable dual admit a Fréchet smooth norm. It first considers a criterion of the differentiability of continuous convex functions on Banach spaces before discussing Fréchet smooth and nonsmooth renormings and Fréchet differentiability of convex functions. It then describes the connection between porous sets and Fréchet differentiability, along with the set of points of Fréchet differentiability of maps between Banach spaces. It also examines the concept of separable determination, the relevance of the σ-porous sets for differentiability and proves the existence of a Fréchet smooth equivalent norm on a Banach space with separable dual. The chapter concludes by explaining how one can show that many differentiability type results hold in nonseparable spaces provided they hold in separable ones.Less

This chapter shows that cone-monotone functions on Asplund spaces have points of Fréchet differentiability and that the appropriate version of the mean value estimates holds. It also proves that the corresponding point of Fréchet differentiability may be found outside any given σ-porous set. This new result considerably strengthens known Fréchet differentiability results for real-valued Lipschitz functions on such spaces. The avoidance of σ-porous sets is new even in the Lipschitz case. The chapter first discusses the use of variational principles to prove Fréchet differentiability before analyzing a one-dimensional mean value problem in relation to Lipschitz functions. It shows that results on existence of points of Fréchet differentiability may be generalized to derivatives other than the Fréchet derivative.Less

This chapter presents the current development of the first, unpublished proof of existence of points Fréchet differentiability of Lipschitz mappings to two-dimensional spaces. For functions into higher dimensional spaces the method does not lead to a point of Gâteaux differentiability but constructs points of asymptotic Fréchet differentiability. The proof uses perturbations that are not additive, rather than the variational approach, but still provides (asymptotic) Fréchet derivatives in every slice of Gâteaux derivatives. However, it cannot be used to prove existence of points of Fréchet differentiability of Lipschitz mappings of Hilbert spaces to three-dimensional spaces. The results are negative in the sense that an appropriate version of the multidimensional mean value estimate holds.Less

This chapter demonstrates that the results about smallness of porous sets, and so also of sets of irregularity points of a given Lipschitz function, can be used to show existence of points of (at least) ε-Fréchet differentiability of vector-valued functions. The approach involves combining this new idea with the basic notion that points of ε-Fréchet differentiability should appear in small slices of the set of Gâteaux derivatives. The chapter obtains very precise results on existence of points of ε-Fréchet differentiability for Lipschitz maps with finite dimensional range. The main result applies when every porous set is contained in the unions of a σ-directionally porous (and hence Haar null) set and a Γₙ-null Gsubscript Small Delta set.Less

This chapter describes the modulus of smoothness of a function in the direction of a family of subspaces and the much simpler notion of upper Fréchet differentiability. It also considers the notion of spaces admitting bump functions smooth in the direction of a family of subspaces with modulus controlled by ω(t). It shows that this notion is related to asymptotic uniform smoothness, and that very smooth bumps, and very asymptotically uniformly smooth norms, exist in all asymptotically c₀ spaces. This allows a new approach to results on Γ-almost everywhere Frechet differentiability of Lipschitz functions. The chapter concludes by explaining an immediate consequence for renorming of spaces containing an asymptotically c₀ family of subspaces.Less

This chapter treats results on ε-Fréchet differentiability of Lipschitz functions in asymptotically smooth spaces. These results are highly exceptional in the sense that they prove almost Frechet differentiability in some situations when we know that the closed convex hull of all (even almost) Fréchet derivatives may be strictly smaller than the closed convex hull of the Gâteaux derivatives. The chapter first presents a simple proof of an almost differentiability result for Lipschitz functions in asymptotically uniformly smooth spaces before discussing the notion of asymptotic uniform smoothness. It then proves that in an asymptotically smooth Banach space X, any finite set of real-valued Lipschitz functions on X has, for every ε > 0, a common point of ε-Fréchet differentiability.Less

This book makes a significant inroad into the unexpectedly difficult question of existence of Fréchet derivatives of Lipschitz maps of Banach spaces into higher dimensional spaces. Because the question turns out to be closely related to porous sets in Banach spaces, it provides a bridge between descriptive set theory and the classical topic of existence of derivatives of vector-valued Lipschitz functions. The topic is relevant to classical analysis and descriptive set theory on Banach spaces. The book opens several new research directions in this area of geometric nonlinear functional analysis. The new methods developed here include a game approach to perturbational variational principles that is of independent interest. Detailed explanation of the underlying ideas and motivation behind the proofs of the new results on Fréchet differentiability of vector-valued functions should make these arguments accessible to a wider audience. The most important special case of the differentiability results, that Lipschitz mappings from a Hilbert space into the plane have points of Fréchet differentiability, is given its own chapter with a proof that is independent of much of the work done to prove more general results. The book raises several open questions concerning its two main topics.Less

This chapter presents the main results on Gâteaux differentiability of Lipschitz functions by recalling the notions of the Radon-Nikodým property (RNP) and null sets. The discussion focuses not only on the mere existence of points of Fréchet differentiability, but also, and often more important, on the validity of the mean value estimates. After considering the RNP of a Banach space, the chapter examines Haar and Aronszajn-Gauss null sets. It then analyzes the existence result for Gâteaux derivatives as well as the meaning of multidimensional mean value estimates. It also explains how, for locally Lipschitz maps of separable Banach spaces to spaces with the RNP, the condition for the validity of the multidimensional mean value estimate may be simplified.Less

This chapter presents a separate, essentially self-contained, nonvariational proof of existence of points of Fréchet differentiability of R²-valued Lipschitz maps on Hilbert spaces. It begins with the theorem stating that every Lipschitz map of a Hilbert space to a two-dimensional space has points of Fréchet differentiability. This is followed by a lemma, which is stated in an arbitrary Hilbert space but whose validity in the general case follows from its three-dimensional version. The chapter then explains the proof of the theorem and of the lemma stated above. In particular, it considers two cases, one corresponding to irregular behavior and the other to regular behavior.Less

This chapter gives an account of the known genuinely infinite dimensional results proving Fréchet differentiability almost everywhere except for Γ-null sets. Γ-null sets provide the only notion of negligible sets with which a Fréchet differentiability result is known. Porous sets appear as sets at which Gâteaux derivatives can behave irregularly, and they turn out to be the only obstacle to validity of a Fréchet differentiability result Γ-almost everywhere. Furthermore, geometry of the space may (or may not) guarantee that porous sets are Γ-null. The chapter also shows that on some infinite dimensional Banach spaces countable collections of real-valued Lipschitz functions, and even of fairly general Lipschitz maps to infinite dimensional spaces, have a common point of Fréchet differentiability.Less

This chapter presents a number of results and notions that will be used in subsequent chapters. In particular, it considers the concept of regular differentiability and the lemma on deformation of n-dimensional surfaces. The idea is to deform a flat surface passing through a point x (along which we imagine that a certain function f is almost affine) to a surface passing through a point witnessing that f is not Fréchet differentiable at x. This is done in such a way that certain “energy” associated to surfaces increases less than the “energy” of the functionf along the surface. The chapter also discusses linear operators and tensor products, various notions and notation related to Fréchet differentiability, and deformation of surfaces controlled by ωⁿ. Finally, it proves some integral estimates of derivatives of Lipschitz maps between Euclidean spaces (not necessarily of the same dimension).Less

This chapter discusses Γₙ-nullness of sets porous “¹at infinity” and/or existence of many points of Fréchet differentiability of Lipschitz maps into n-dimensional spaces. The results reveal a σ-porous set whose complement is null on all n-dimensional surfaces and the multidimensional mean value estimates fail even for ε-Fréchet derivatives. Previous chapters have established conditions on a Banach space X under which porous sets in X are Γₙ-null and/or the the multidimensional mean value estimates for Fréchet derivatives of Lipschitz maps into n-dimensional spaces hold. This chapter investigates in what sense the assumptions of these main results are close to being optimal.Less

This chapter introduces the notions of Γ-null and Γₙ-null sets, which are σ-ideals of subsets of a Banach space X. Γ-null set is key for the strongest known general Fréchet differentiability results in Banach spaces, whereas Γₙ-null set presents a new, more refined concept. The reason for these notions comes from an (imprecise) observation that differentiability problems are governed by measure in finite dimension, but by Baire category when it comes to behavior at infinity. The chapter first relates Γ-null and Γₙ-null sets to Gâteaux differentiability before discussing their basic properties. It then describes Γ-null and Γₙ-null sets of low Borel classes and presents equivalent definitions of Γₙ-null sets. Finally, it considers the separable determination of Γ-nullness for Borel sets.Less

This chapter continues the study of scattering problems in the case where the considered fields have harmonic time dependence and the involved chiral media are homogeneous. It begins by containing various important concepts of scattering theory. Next, the chapter deals with the establishment of the reciprocity principle, the general scattering theorem, and the optical theorem for the chiral obstacle in an achiral environment problem; moreover, a study of the spectrum of the far-field operator and its relation to that of the T-matrix is included. Hereafter, the chapter deals with the generalisation of the Atkinson–Wilcox expansion theorem to the perfect conductor in a chiral environment problem and presents results on chiral Herglotz wave functions. It also exhibits infinite Fréchet differentiability of the mapping from the boundary of the scatterer onto the far-field patterns. Finally, the chapter discusses topics related to chiral media.Less
