Bishop–Phelps theorem

In mathematics, the Bishop–Phelps theorem is a theorem about the topological properties of Banach spaces named after Errett Bishop and Robert Phelps, who published its proof in 1961.[1]

Statement

Its statement is as follows.

Bishop–Phelps theorem  Let be a bounded, closed, convex set of a real Banach space Then the set

is norm-dense in the continuous dual space of

Importantly, this theorem fails for complex Banach spaces.[2]
