Abstract
Let X be a Banach lattice, and let \({x\in X{\setminus}\{0\}}\). We study the structure of the set Grad(x), of all supporting functionals of x. If X is a Dedekind σ-complete Banach lattice, there is an isometry from Grad(x) onto Grad(|x|); hence the elements x and |x| are smooth simultaneously. And if, additionally, X* is strictly monotone then Grad(|x|) consists of positive functionals. As a by-product of our results we obtain that an arbitrary Banach lattice X is strictly monotone whenever its dual X* is smooth.
