Strongly unique best approximation in Banach spaces. II (Q1110756)

The author continues his study of strongly unique best approximation initiated in a previous paper under the same title [J. Approximation Theory 47, 184-194 (1986; Zbl 0615.41027)]. He shows that a best approximation by elements of a sun in a uniformly convex Banach space is strongly unique locally, and gives the global analogies also. He applies the latter results to derive strong uniqueness theorems for Lebesgue, Hardy and Sobolev spaces.
