Abstract

It is shown that for Banach spaces the Radon-Nikodym property and the Bishop-Phelps property are equivalent. Using similar techniques, we prove that ifC is a bounded, closed and convex subset of a Banach space such that every nonempty subset ofC is dentable, then the strongly exposing functionals ofC form a denseG δ-subset of the dual.
