More precisely, it is shown that on weakly compactly generated Banach spaces X which admit a C^{p} smooth norm, one can uniformly approximate uniformly continuous functions f:X->R by Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth functions. Moreover, there is a constant C>1 so that any L-Lipschitz function f:X->R can be uniformly approximated by CL-Lipschitz, C^{p} smooth functions. This provides a `Lipschitz version' of the classical approximation results of Godefroy, Troyanski, Whitfield and Zizler.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2009-11-24T16:25:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46B20" ], "keywords": [ "weakly compactly generated banach spaces", "smooth functions", "lipschitz functions", "approximate uniformly continuous functions", "approximation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0907.0241F" } } }
