On uniqueness of Chebyshev approximation (Q1406404)

Let \(C(K)\) be the space of real continuous functions given on the compact metric space \(K\) and \[ \|f\|= \max\limits_{x\in K} |f(x)|,\quad f\in C(K) \] is the metric in it. In the manifold \(M\) let the topology be determined for which the embedding \( M\in C(K) \) is continuous. The element \( p\in M \) is called the locally best approximation of the function \( f\in C(K)\), if there exists a neighborhood \(O_p\) of the point \(p\) in the manifold \(M\) such that \[ \Delta_p(f) = \|f-p\|= \inf\limits s_{q\in O_p} \|f-q\|. \] The author discusses the problems of uniqueness of the Chebyshev approximation and establishes sufficient conditions for the locally best approximation.
