 Duality mapping

The duality mapping takes a vector to its supporting dual functionals for half its squared norm. Equivalently $p\in \mathcal{J}(x)$ when $\Vert p{\Vert }_{\ast }=\Vert x\Vert$ and $⟨x,p⟩=\Vert x{\Vert }^2$. This follows from the dual-norm inequality and equality in the conjugate relation for squared norms. In a Hilbert space, the Riesz representation theorem identifies it with the identity; in a general Banach space it can be set-valued.
