On a classical renorming construction of V. Klee

We further develop a classical geometric construction of V. Klee and show, typically, that if X is a nonreflexive Banach space with separable dual, then X admits an equivalent norm vertical bar . vertical bar which is Frechet differentiable, locally uniformly rotund, its dual norm vertical bar . ver...

Description
Summary:We further develop a classical geometric construction of V. Klee and show, typically, that if X is a nonreflexive Banach space with separable dual, then X admits an equivalent norm vertical bar . vertical bar which is Frechet differentiable, locally uniformly rotund, its dual norm vertical bar . vertical bar* is uniformly Gateaux differentiable, the weak* and the norm topologies coincide on the sphere of (X*, vertical bar . vertical bar*) and, yet, vertical bar . vertical bar* is not rotund. This proves (a stronger form of) a conjecture of V. Klee. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc.
