Abstract:
We characterize the Fréchet differentiability of real-valued functions on certain real Banach spaces in terms of a directional derivative being equal to a modified version of the local Lipschitz constant. This yields the continuity of metric projections onto closed sets whose distance functions have directional derivatives equal to 1, provided the Banach space and its dual have Fréchet differentiable norms.References
