Review text

Let \((X,\|\cdot\|)\) be a Banach space and \(M\) a nonempty subset of \(X\). The set \(M\) is called Chebyshev if every \(x\in X\) has exactly one nearest point in \(M\). The set \(M\) is called locally Chebyshev if for every \(y\in M\) there exists \(r=r(y)>0\) such that \(\overline{B}_r(y)\cap M\) is Chebyshev, where \(\overline B_r(y)=\{z\in X : \|z-y\|\leq r\}\). The set \(M\) is called boundedly Chebyshev if \(\overline{B}_r(y)\cap M\) is Chebyshev for every \(y\in M\) and every \(r>0\). Suppose that the Banach space \(X\) is two-dimensional. Then any connected closed locally Chebyshev space of \(X\) is Chebyshev (Theorem 1), and the space \(X\) is strictly convex iff each Chebyshev subset of \(X\) is boundedly Chebyshev (Theorem 2). At the end of the paper the author asks whether the results from Theorems 1 and 2 hold or not for arbitrary (strictly convex, in the case of Theorem 2) finite-dimensional Banach spaces.
