Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Gâteaux directional differentiability of metric projection operator and its properties in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Bochner space \(L_{p}(S ; X)\), in which \((S, \mathcal{A}, \mu)\) is a positive measure space and \(X\) is a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. Let (arbitrary) \(A \in \mathcal{A}\) with \(\mu(A)>0\) and define a subspace \(L_{p}(A ; X)\) of \(L_{p}(S ; X)\), which is considered as a closed and convex subset of \(L_{p}(S ; X)\). We first study the properties of the normalized duality mapping in \(L_{p}(S ; X)\) and in \(L_{p}(A ; X)\). For any \(c \in L_{p}(A ; X)\) and \(r>0\), we define a closed ball \(B_{A}(c ; r)\) in \(L_{p}(A ; X)\) and a cylinder \(C_{A}(c ; r)\) in \(L_{p}(S ; X)\) with base \(B_{A}(c ; r)\). Then, we investigate some optimal properties of the corresponding metric projections \(P_{L_{p}(A ; X)}, P_{B_{A}(c ; r)}\) and \(P_{C_{A}(c ; r)}\) that include the inverse images, the Gâteaux directional differentiability and the precise solutions of their Gâteaux directional derivatives.
