On set-valued f-projections and f-farthest point mappings (Q2266400)

Let V be a nonempty closed subset of a separated locally convex space X. Given a lower semi-continuous quasi-convex function f defined on X, one defines here the so-called f-projection \(P_{fV}\). Likewise, given an upper semi-continuous quasi-convex function f on X, one defines here the so-called f-farthest point mapping \(Q_{fV}\). In this exposition, properties of V related to the f-projection \(P_{fV}\) and the f-farthest point mapping \(Q_{fV}\) are defined and several relationships between these properties and continuity of the mappings \(P_{fV},Q_{fV}\) are explored.
