contents In this paper, authors prove that if $X$ is a weak Asplund space, then the space $X\times R$ is a weak Asplund space. Thus the author definitely answered an open problem raised by D.G. Larman and R.R. Phelps for 45 years ago (J. London. Math. Soc. (2), 20(1979), 115--127). The study constructs a framework for proving the existence of densely differentiable sets of convex functions in product spaces through the analysis of Banach-Mazur game theory, maximal monotone operator properties, and the Gateaux differentiability of Minkowski functionals. By associating the convex function properties of the original space and product space via projection mappings, and utilizing sequences of dense open cones to construct $G_δ$-dense subsets, the research ultimately demonstrates that the product space is a weak Asplund space. This work not only enriches the stability theory of weak Asplund spaces and their products with one-dimensional spaces but also provides crucial theoretical support for applications in convex optimization, weak solution construction for partial differential equations, and stochastic analysis.
