The purpose of this paper is to develop characterizations of weakly compact subsets of a Banach space in terms of separation properties. The sets A and B are said to be separated by a hyperplane H if A is contained in one of the two closed half-spaces determined by H, and B is contained in the other; A and B are strictly separated by H if A is contained in one of the two open half-spaces determined by H, and B is contained in the other. The following are known to be true for locally convex topological linear spaces.
