Review text

Let \(X\) be a Banach space, let \(A\) be a closed subset of \(X\) and \({x\in X}\). Let \(f\) be a continuous real-valued function on \(X\). Some additional natural restrictions are posed on the function \(f\). The authors consider the minimization problem (P): \({\min\{f(x-y): y\in A\}}\). This problem is called well-posed if it has a unique solution, say \(a_0\), and every minimizing sequence converges to \(a_0\). The space of all nonempty closed subsets of \(X\) equipped with the appropriate complete metric \(h\) is denoted by \(S(X)\). We note here two typical results. In the first result the point \(x\) is fixed. The authors prove that the collection of all sets \(A\) for which problem (P) is well posed contains a countable intersection of open everywhere dense subsets of \(S(X)\). In the second result the set of pairs \({S(X)\times X}\) with the metric \({h(A,B)+\|x-y\|}\), \({x,y\in X}\), \({A,B\in S(X)}\), is considered. The authors prove that the collection of all pairs \((A,x)\) for which problem (P) is well posed contains a countable intersection of open everywhere dense subsets of \({S(X)\times X}\).
