Proximinality in Banach space-valued grand Bochner-Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent (Q2314130)

Let \((A,\mathcal A, \mu)\) be a \(\sigma\)-finite complete measure space and let \(p\) be a \(\mu\)-measurable function on \(A\) which takes values in \((1,\infty)\). Let \(Y\) be a subspace of a Banach space \(X\). The grand Bochner-Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent \(p \) whose functions take values in \(Y\) and \(X\), respectively, are denoted by \(\tilde L^{p,\varphi}(A,Y)\) and \(\tilde L^{p,\varphi}(A,X)\). The distance from \(f \in \tilde L^{p,\varphi}(A,X)\) to \(\tilde L^{p,\varphi}(A,Y)\) is estimated. Next, \(\tilde L^{p,\varphi}(A,Y)\) is shown to be proximinal (a set of existence) in \(\tilde L^{p,\varphi}(A,X)\) if \(Y\) is weakly \(\mathcal K\)-analytic and proximinal in \(X\). The proximinality of \(L^{p,\varphi}(A,Y)\) in \(L^{p,\varphi}(A,X)\) is characterized in terms of the proximinality of \(L^1(A,Y)\) and \(L^1(A,X)\).
