On the Proximinality of the Unit Ball of Proximinal Subspaces in Banach Spaces: a Counterexample
نویسنده
چکیده
A known, and easy to establish, fact in Best Approximation Theory is that, if the unit ball of a subspace G of a Banach space X is proximinal in X, then G itself is proximinal in X. We are concerned in this article with the reverse implication, as the knowledge of whether the unit ball is proximinal or not is useful in obtaining information about other problems. We show, by constructing a counterexample, that the answer is negative in general.

Strong proximinality and intersection properties of balls in Banach spaces
We investigate a variation of the transitivity problem for proximinality properties of subspaces and intersection properties of balls in Banach spaces. For instance, we prove that if Z ⊆ Y ⊆ X, where Z is a finite co-dimensional subspace of X which is strongly proximinal in Y and Y is an M -ideal in X, then Z is strongly proximinal in X. Towards this, we prove that a finite co-dimensional proxi...
متن کاملVarious Notions of Best Approximation Property in Spaces of Bochner Integrable Functions
We show that a separable proximinal subspace of X, say Y is strongly proximinal (strongly ball proximinal) if and only if Lp(I, Y ) is strongly proximinal (strongly ball proximinal) in Lp(I,X), for 1 ≤ p <∞. The p =∞ case requires a stronger assumption, that of ’uniform proximinality’. Further, we show that a separable subspace Y is ball proximinal in X if and only if Lp(I, Y ) is ball proximin...
متن کاملProximinality in generalized direct sums
We consider proximinality and transitivity of proximinality for subspaces of finite codimen-sion in generalized direct sums of Banach spaces. We give several examples of Banach spaces where proximinality is transitive among subspaces of finite codimension. 1. Introduction. Let X be a Banach space and let Y be a closed subspace of X. We recall that Y is said to be a proximinal subspace of X if f...
متن کاملOn a Sufficient Condition for Proximity
A closed subspace M in a Banach space X is called t/-proximinal if it satisfies: (1 + p)S n (S + M) ç S + e(pXS n M), for some positive valued function t(p), p > 0, and e(p) -» 0 as p -> 0, where 5 is the closed unit ball of X. One of the important properties of this class of subspaces is that the metric projections are continuous. We show that many interesting subspaces are (/-proximinal, for ...
متن کاملTransitivity of various notions of proximinality in Banach spaces
We derive transitivity of various degrees of proximinality in Banach spaces. When the transitivity does not carry forward to the bigger space we investigate these properties under some additional assumptions of the intermediate space. For instance, we show that if Z ⊆ Y ⊆ X where Z is a finite co-dimensional subspace of X which is strongly proximinal in Y and Y is an M-ideal in X then Z is stro...
