Specialised obesity services, however, are not widely available in Europe, and obesity care can vary enormously across European regions.

A NORM INEQUALITY FOR CHEBYSHEV CENTRES

In this paper, we study the Chebyshev centres of bounded subsets of normed spaces and obtain a norm inequality for relative centres. In particular, we prove that if T is a remotal subset of an inner product space H, and F is a star-shaped set at a relative Chebyshev centre c of T with respect to F, then llx - qT (x)1I2 2 Ilx-cll2 + Ilc-qT (c) 112 x E F, where qT : F + T is any choice functi...
