Dual and Generalized Dual Cones in Banach Spaces

Abstract: The primary objective of this paper is to propose and analyze the notion of dual cones associated with the metric projection and generalized projection in Banach spaces. We show that the dual cones, related to the metric projection and generalized metric projection, lose many important properties in transitioning from Hilbert spaces to Banach spaces. We also propose and analyze the notions of faces and visions in Banach spaces and relate them to the metric projection and generalized projection. We provide many illustrative examples to give insight into the given results.
