This is an announcement for the paper "Bishop-Phelps-Bolloba's theorem on bounded closed convex sets" by Dong Hoon Cho and Yun Sung Choi.

Abstract: This paper deals with the \emph{Bishop-Phelps-Bollob'as property} (\emph{BPBp} for short) on bounded closed convex subsets of a Banach space $X$, not just on its closed unit ball $B_X$. We firstly prove that the \emph{BPBp} holds for bounded linear functionals on arbitrary bounded closed convex subsets of a real Banach space. We show that for all finite dimensional Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$ the pair $(X,Y)$ has the \emph{BPBp} on every bounded closed convex subset $D$ of $X$, and also that for a Banach space $Y$ with property $(\beta )$ the pair $(X,Y)$ has the \emph{BPBp} on every bounded closed absolutely convex subset $D$ of an arbitrary Banach space $X$. For a bounded closed absorbing convex subset $D$ of $X$ with positive modulus convexity we get that the pair $(X,Y)$ has the \emph{BPBp} on $D$ for every Banach space $Y$. We further obtain that for an Asplund space $X$ and for a locally compact Hausdorff $L$, the pair $(X, C_0(L))$ has the \emph{BPBp} on every bounded closed absolutely convex subset $D$ of $X$. Finally we study the stability of the \emph{BPBp} on a bounded closed convex set for the $\ell_1$-sum or $\ell_{\infty}$-sum of a family of Banach spaces.
