Continuous selection from the sets of best and near-best approximation (Q2411800)

In this paper, the author studies approximation and structural geometric-topological properties of sets in a normed space and asymmetric spaces for which there exists a continuous selection for the best and near-best approximation operators. Theorem 1 gives sufficient conditions on the approximation properties of a set ensuring the existence of a single-valued continuous selection for a metric projection. Theorems 2 and 3 give sufficient conditions on sets of nearest elements ensuring the existence of a continuous \(\varepsilon\)-selection for all \(\varepsilon> 0\). Theorems 4 and 5 give conditions ensuring the existence of \(\varepsilon\)-selections in the asymmetric case and describe the structure of such sets.
