Abstract

Let X be a Banach space, C be a nonempty closed convex set and \(\sigma _C\) be the support function of the set C. In this work, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the set C to satisfy \(\mathrm {int}(\mathrm {dom}\sigma _C)\ne \emptyset \), which enable us to study the Frechet and Gateaux differentiability of support function on the set C.
