[#R924] Current status and unresolved remainder
claim. UNKNOWN as of 2026-07-31. A 2024 specialist lecture still lists Ostrovskii's 2005 question as an open problem. Dantas, Jung, and Martinez-Cervantes prove new sufficient conditions for non-norm-attaining operators in 2021, without resolving the remaining separable reflexive spaces lacking the relevant approximation properties. Construct an infinite-dimensional real or complex Banach space X and prove that every T in L(X) attains its norm, or prove that every infinite-dimensional real or complex Banach space admits a bounded self-operator that fails to attain its norm.
1Summary
UNKNOWN as of 2026-07-31. A 2024 specialist lecture still lists Ostrovskii's 2005 question as an open problem. Dantas, Jung, and Martinez-Cervantes prove new sufficient conditions for non-norm-attaining operators in 2021, without resolving the remaining separable reflexive spaces lacking the relevant approximation properties.
A complete resolution must satisfy this condition: Construct an infinite-dimensional real or complex Banach space X and prove that every T in L(X) attains its norm, or prove that every infinite-dimensional real or complex Banach space admits a bounded self-operator that fails to attain its norm.
