A note on numerical radius attaining mappings

We prove that if every bounded linear operator (or $N$-homogeneous polynomials) with the compact approximation property attains its numerical radius, then $X$ is a finite dimensional space. Moreover, we present an improvement of the polynomial James’ theorem for numerical radius proved by Acosta, Becerra Guerrero and Gal$\acute{a}$n in 2003. Finally, the denseness of weakly (uniformly) continuous $2$-homogeneous polynomials on a Banach space whose Aron-Berner extensions attain their numerical radii is obtained.
