Abstract
Let X be a real uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space and C a nonempty closed and convex subset of X. Let PC: X → C denote the (standard) metric projection operator. In this paper, we define the G\(\widehat{a}\)teaux directional differentiability of PC. We investigate some properties of the G\(\widehat{a}\)teaux directional differentiability of PC. In particular, if C is a closed ball or a closed and convex cone (including proper closed subspaces), then, we give the exact representations of the directional derivatives of PC.
