Senior Project Presentation

 

Abstract: In a metric space X a best approximation of a given point P  to a set  M is the point Q in M that is nearest to P.  But such a point may or may not exist and there may be several of them.  We discuss existence and uniqueness of best approximations. Also we give some information about problem of convexity of

Chebyshev sets.
