Metric projections after renorming

Let \((X,\|\cdot\|)\) be a real normed linear space and \(M\) a closed subspace of \(X\). A multivalued mapping \(P: X\to 2^ M\) is called a metric projection after renorming if there exists an equivalent norm \(|\|\cdot\||\) on \(X\) such that \(P: X\to 2^ M\) is the metric projection onto \(M\) in \((X,|\|\cdot\||)\). \(P\) is said to be norm-to-weak upper semi-continuous \(((n-w)usc)\) if for any \(x\in X\) and any weakly open set \(V\) with \(P(x)\subset V\) there exists an open (in the norm topology) neighbourhood \(U\) of \(x\) with \(P(U)\subset V\). In the case of finite-dimensional \(X\) the metric projections after renorming have been characterized by \textit{A. L. Brown} [J. Approximation Theory 57, No. 1, 48-68 (1989; Zbl 0675.41037)]. In the present paper the author investigates the metric projections after renorming in infinite- dimensional spaces. The main result of the paper is the following: Let \(M\) be a closed subspace of a reflexive \(B\)-space \(X\) and let \(P: X\to 2^ M\). Then \(P\) is a metric projection after renorming if and only if \(P\) has non-empty closed convex values, is \((n-w)usc\) and is semi-linear with respect to \(M\) (i.e. \(P(kx+m)=kP(x)+m\), whenever \(k\in\mathbb{R}\), \(x\in X\), \(m\in M\)).
