Best approximations, distance formulas and orthogonality in \(C^*\)-algebras



Abstract: For a unital C∗-algebra mathcalA and a subspace mathcalB of mathcalA, a characterization for a best approximation to an element of mathcalA in mathcalB is obtained. As an application, a formula for the distance of an element of mathcalA from mathcalB has been obtained, when a best approximation of that element to mathcalB exists. Further, a characterization for Birkhoff-James orthogonality of an element of a Hilbert C∗-module to a subspace is obtained.
