Even more, given two linearly independent norm-attaining functionals on X, no other element of the segment between them attains its norm. Equivalently, the intersection of NA(X, R) with a two-dimensional subspace of X∗ is contained in the union of two lines. In terms of proximinality, we show that for every closed subspace M of X of codimension two, at most four elements of the unit sphere of X/M have a representative of norm-one. We further relate this example with an open problem on normattaining operators.}, organization = {MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 PID2021-122126NB-C31}, organization = {ERDF/EU}, organization = {MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 Maria de Maeztu CEX2020-001105-M}, publisher = {Elsevier}, title = {A Banach space whose set of norm-attaining functionals is algebraically trivial}, doi = {10.1016/j.jfa.2024.110815}, author = {Martín Suárez, Miguel}, }
