Review text

The authors survey the relations between the properties of retractions of a Banach space \(X\) onto its unit ball \(B\) and the following two problems: 1) It is possible to extend to the whole \(X\) a Lipschitz map defined on \(B\), preserving the Lipschitz constant? Otherwise, what it the smallest Lipschitz constant such an extension can have? 2) Is a Chebyshev set (i.e., a set admitting a single best approximation from any point in the space) in a Hilbert space necessarily convex? On this line they consider connections between the radial projection and the angular distance and obtain interesting characterizations of inner product spaces.
