Let \(\langle X,d\rangle\) be a metric space. The bounded proximal topology is the weakest topology \(\tau\) on the nonempty closed subsets \(CL(X)\) of \(X\) such that for each closed and bounded subset \(B\) of \(X\), the gap functional \(A\to\inf\{d(a,b): a\in A\) and \(b\in B\}\) is \(\tau\)- continuous. Here, we exhibit its main topological properties, and we compare it with other hyperspace topologies. Applications are given to minimization problems, specifically to functions that are well-posed in the generalized sense (g.w.p.). It is shown that the solution set of such a minimum problem can be recovered from a sequence of level sets of approximating functions, and that for a given g.w.p. convex function, nearby convex functions will necessarily have a minimum if and only if the underlying space is reflexive.
