Closed spans in \(C(T)\) and \(L_\varphi(T)\) and their approximative properties (Q1810283)

Let \(X\) be a set endowed with a quasimetric \(\rho:X\to \mathbb{R}_+\), and \(Y\subset X\). The metric projection \(P_Y:X\to 2^Y\) is defined by \[ P_Y(x):= \Bigl\{y\in Y: \rho(x,y)= \inf_{z\in Y} \rho(x,z) \Bigr\} \] The author announces results related to the following two problems: (1) existence \((P_Y(x)\neq \emptyset\) for all \(x\in X)\), a uniqueness \(\#P_Y(x)= 1)\) for \(X\) being \(C(T,\ell_2)\) and \(\varphi(L) (T,\ell_2)\) and \(Y\) being a closed span [for definition of the latter see \textit{C. Franchetti} and \textit{E. W. Cheney}, J. Approximation Theory 48, 213-225 (1986; Zbl 0604.41034)]. (2) In the case of nonuniqueness, existence of a Lipschitz selection \(\varphi:X\to Y\) of the map \(P_Y\) with constant~1.
