Abstract: | We characterize in a reflexive Banach space all the closed convex sets C1 containing no lines for which the condition C1∞∩C2∞={0} ensures the closedness of the algebraic difference C1−C2 for all closed convex sets C2. We also answer a closely related problem: determine all the pairs C1, C2 of closed convex sets containing no lines such that the algebraic difference of any sufficiently small uniform perturbations of C1 and C2 remains closed. As an application, we state the broadest setting for the strict separation theorem in a reflexive Banach space. |
