The word rotund comes from Latin word "rotundus" implying wheel-shaped or round (from rota wheel). Rotundity is the roundness of a 3-dimensional object. Some of the properties of rotundity include: UR-Uniformly Rotund, LUR-Locally Uniformly Rotund, MLUR-Midpoint Locally Uniformly Rotund, WUR-Weakly Uniformly Rotund, URED-Uniformly Rotund in Every Direction, HR- Highly Rotund, WLUR-Weakly Locally Uniformly Rotund and URWC-Uniformly Rotund in Weakly Compact sets of directions. Problems on Rotundity properties are still open. Smith gave a summary chart on rotundity of norms in Banach spaces. The chart left an open question whether or not a Highly Rotund norm(HR) implies Uniformly Rotund norm on Every Direction(URED). It is not clear whether if a Banach space has a Highly Rotund(HR) norm it follows that it has and equivalently URED. In this paper, we investigated the relationship between a Highly Rotund norm(HR) and a Uniformly Rotund norm in Every Direction(URED) on a Freche’t Space. The result shows that both Highly Rotund norm and Uniformly Rotund norm on Every Direction(URED) exist in Freche’t spaces. The implication of this result is that rotundity properties can be extended within spaces. This research work is very important since rotundity properties are strongly applicable in many branches of mathematics.
