If $X$ is a separable infinite dimensional Banach space, we construct a bounded and linear operator $R$ on $X$ such that $$ A_R=\{x \in X, \|R^tx\| \rightarrow \infty\} $$ is not dense and has non empty interior with the additional property that $R$ can be written $I+K$, where $I$ is the identity and $K$ is a compact operator. This answers two recent questions of Hájek and Smith.
Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a (real or complex) Banach space $X$. If $(a_n)$ is a sequence of non-negative numbers tending to 0. Then, the set of $x \in X$ such that $\|T^nx\| \geqslant a_n \|T^n\|$ for infinitely many $n$'s has a complement which is both $σ$-porous and Haar-null. We also compute (for some classical Banach space) optimal exponents $q>0$, such that for every non nilpotent operator $T$, there exists $x \in X$ such that $(\|T^nx\|/\|T^n\|) \notin \ell^{q}(\mathbb{N})$, using techniques which involve the modulus of asymptotic uniform smoothness of $X$.
If $f$ is a real valued weakly lower semi-continous function on a Banach space $X$ and $C$ a weakly compact subset of $X$, we show that the set of $x \in X$ such that $z \mapsto \|x-z\|-f(z)$ attains its supremum on $C$ is dense in $X$. We also construct a counter example showing that the set of $x \in X$ such that $z \mapsto \|x-z\|+\|z\|$ attains its supremum on $C$ is not always dense in $X$.
