Abstract
A Banach space $(X,\|\cdot \|)$ is said to be a dual differentiation space if every continuous convex function defined on a non-empty open convex subset $A$ of $X^*$ that possesses weak * continuous subgradients at the points of a residual subset of $A$ is Fréchet differentiable on a dense subset of $A$. In this paper we show that if we assume the continuum hypothesis then there exists a dual differentiation space that does not admit an equivalent locally uniformly rotund norm.
