We give some important applications of the Hahn-Banach Theorem. We prove the existence of a support functional and hence that X^* separates points in X. Then we prove the existence of a functional that encodes the distance from a linear subspace, which is an important ingredient in a number of subsequent proofs. We show that separability of X^* implies separability of X, define the Banach adjoint of a linear map (between Banach spaces), and prove the existence of ‘generalised Banach limits’.
We prove that the set of all support points of a nonempty closed convex bounded set $C$ in a real infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ is $\text{AR}$($\sigma $-compact) and contractible. Under suitable conditions, similar results are proved also for the set of all support functionals of $C$ and for the domain, the graph, and the range of the subdifferential map of a proper convex lower semicontinuous function on $X$.
