0. Introduction. Let X be a normed space and let T be an operator on X. Let S(X) denote its unit sphere, {x ∈ X: ∥x∥ = 1}, B(X) = {x ∈ X: ∥x∥ ≤ 1} its unit ball, X′ its dual and ℬ(X) the normed algebra of bounded linear operators on X. Let II be the subset of the Cartesian product X × X′ defined by
