1. INTRODUCTION
Let XX be a real normed space and MM a closed subspace of XX. The distance from a point x in Xx \in X to MM is defined by
{:(1)d(x","M):=i n f{||x-y||:y in M}.:}\begin{equation*}
d(x, M):=\inf \{\|x-y\|: y \in M\} . \tag{1}
\end{equation*}
Let
{:(2)P_(M)(x):={y in M:||x-y||=d(x","M)}:}\begin{equation*}
P_{M}(x):=\{y \in M:\|x-y\|=d(x, M)\} \tag{2}
\end{equation*}
be the set of elements of best approximation for xx in MM. The subspace MM is called proximinal (Chebyshevian) if P_(M)(x)!=O/P_{M}(x) \neq \varnothing (respectively P_(M)(x)P_{M}(x) is a singleton), for all x in Xx \in X. If MM is a proximinal subspace of XX, the multivalued operator P_(M):X rarr2^(M)P_{M}: X \rightarrow 2^{M} is called the metric projection of XX onto MM.
An application p:X-Mp: X-M such that p(x)inP_(M)(x)p(x) \in P_{M}(x), for all x in Xx \in X, is called a selection for P_(M)\boldsymbol{P}_{M}.
is called the kernel of the metric projection.
If KK is a subset; of XX and MM is proximinal (Chebyshevian) only for the elements of KK, then the subspace MM is called KK-proximinal (respectively KK-Chebyshevian).
The restriction of the metric projection P_(M)P_{M} to KK is denoted by P_(M//M)P_{M / M}
{:(4)KexP_(M//M):={x in K:theta inP_(M)(x)}:}\begin{equation*}
K e x \mathbb{P}_{M / M}:=\left\{x \in K: \theta \in P_{M}(x)\right\} \tag{4}
\end{equation*}
is called the kernel of the metric projection relative to KK.
For two subsets U,VU, V of XX, their sum is defined by U+V:=={u+v:u in U,v in V}U+V:= =\{u+v: u \in U, v \in V\}. If eyery x in U+Vx \in U+V can be uniquely written in the form x=u+vx=u+v, for u in Uu \in U and v in Vv \in V, then this sum is called the algebraic direct sum of the sets UU and VV and is denoted by U^(**)+VU^{*}+V. If K==U+VK= =U+V and the application (u,v)rarr u+v(u, v) \rightarrow u+v is a topological homeonorphism between U xx VU \times V and KK, then KK is called the topological direct sum of the set UU and VV and is denoted by K=U o+VK=U \oplus V.
MAIN THEOREM
Obviously that for K sub XK \subset X and a KK-proximinal subspace MM of XX, the properties of the selection associated to the metric projection P_(M//K)P_{M / K} depend, on one side, on the properties of the subspace MM and on the other side, on the properties of the set KK.
F. Deutsch [1] characterized the proximinal subspace MM of XX for which the metric projection P_(M)P_{M} admits a linear and continuous selection : namely, P_(M)P_{M} admits a continuous linear selection if and only if Ker P_(M)P_{M} contains a closed subspace complementary to MM (see [1], Theorem 2.2).
The aim of this paper is to answer the following question : For a closed cone KK in XX and a KK-proximinal subspace MM of XX when does the metric projection P_(M//K)P_{M / K} admit a continuous, additive and positively homogeneous selection?
A cone is a nonvoid subset KK of XX such that : aa ) x+y in Kx+y \in K, for all {:x,y inK_(i);b)lambda x in K\left.x, y \in K_{i} ; b\right) \lambda x \in K, for all lambda >= 0\lambda \geqslant 0 and x inKx \in \mathbb{K}.
A partial answer to this question is suggestod by the above quoted result of F. Deutsch and is given in the following:
Theorem A. Let KK be a closed cone in XX and MM a KK-proximinal subspace of XX. If the subspace MM contains a dosed cone UU and Ker P_(a//a)P_{a / a} contains a closed cone CC such that
then P_(M//K)P_{M / K} admits a positively homogeneous, additive and continuous selection.
Proof. Let UU be a closed cone in MM and CC a closed cone in KorP_(1//pi)K o r P_{1 / \pi} such that K=U o+CK=U \oplus C.
Then, for h in Kh \in K, there exist uniquely devermined elements u_(h)in Uu_{h} \in U and c_(h)in Cc_{h} \in C such that h=u_(h)+c_(h)h=u_{h}+c_{h}.
Define the application q:K rarr MIq: K \rightarrow M I by
q(h)=u_(h),quad h inK.q(h)=u_{h}, \quad h \in \mathbb{K} .
Since KK is homeomorph to U xx OU \times O it follows that the application qq is continuous.
Let h_(1),h_(2)in Kh_{1}, h_{2} \in K and u_(h_(1)),u_(h_(2))in Uu_{h_{1}}, u_{h_{2}} \in U and c_(h_(1)),e_(h_(2))in Cc_{h_{1}}, e_{h_{2}} \in C be such that h_(1)==u_(h_(1))+e_(h_(1)),h_(2)=u_(h_(1))+e_(h_(2))h_{1}= =u_{h_{1}}+e_{h_{1}}, h_{2}=u_{h_{1}}+e_{h_{2}}. Then
showing that qq is positively homogeneous.
The inclusion C subeC \subseteq Ker P_(a//K)P_{a / K} implies that for h in K,h=u_(h)+c_(h^('))h \in K, h=u_{h}+c_{h^{\prime}}, u_(h)in U,c_(h)in Cu_{h} \in U, c_{h} \in C, we have
||h-q(h)||=d(c_(k),M)=d(u_(k)+c_(k),M)=d(h,M),\|h-q(h)\|=d\left(c_{k}, M\right)=d\left(u_{k}+c_{k}, M\right)=d(h, M),
which shows that q(h)q(h) is a best approximation element for hh in MM.
In conclusion, the application q:K rarr Mq: K \rightarrow M is an additive, positively homogeneous and continuous selection of P_("M/K ")P_{\text {M/K }}
APPLICATIONS
1^(@)1^{\circ} Let X:=Lip_(0)[0,1]X:=\operatorname{Lip}_{0}[0,1] be the linear space
(6) Lip[0,1]:={f∣f:[0,1]rarrR,f\operatorname{Lip}[0,1]:=\{f \mid f:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, f is Lipschitz on [0,1][0,1] and f(0)==0}f(0)= =0\}, with the Lipschitz norm
{:(7)||f||_(L):=s u p{(|f(x)-f(y)|)/(|x-y|):x,y in[0,1],x!=y}:}\begin{equation*}
\|f\|_{L}:=\sup \left\{\frac{|f(x)-f(y)|}{|x-y|}: x, y \in[0,1], x \neq y\right\} \tag{7}
\end{equation*}
K:={f inLip_(0)[0,1]:f(x) >= 0," for all "x in[0,1]}.K:=\left\{f \in \operatorname{Lip}_{0}[0,1]: f(x) \geqslant 0, \text { for all } x \in[0,1]\right\} .
Obviously that MM is a KK-proximinal closed subspace of Lip_(0)[0,1]∼\operatorname{Lip}_{0}[0,1] \sim if f in Kf \in K then g_(0)in Mg_{0} \in M is an element of best approximation for ff if and only if g_(0)=f-Fg_{0}=f-F, where F(x)=f(1)x,x in[0,1]F(x)=f(1) x, x \in[0,1] ([4], Lemma 1).
In fact g_(0)=f-Fg_{0}=f-F, with FF given above, is a unique element of best approximation for ff in MM, which means that MM is a KK-Chebyshevian subspace of Lip_(0)[0,1]\operatorname{Lip}_{0}[0,1].
We have
||f-g_(0)||_(L)=d(f,M)=i n f{||f-g||_(L):g in M}=f(1)\left\|f-g_{0}\right\|_{L}=d(f, M)=\inf \left\{\|f-g\|_{L}: g \in M\right\}=f(1)
and
KerP_(u//K)={f in K:||f||_(L)=f(1)}=\operatorname{Ker} P_{u / K}=\left\{f \in K:\|f\|_{L}=f(1)\right\}=
={h in K:h(x)=alpha x,x in[0,1],alpha >= 0}=\{h \in K: h(x)=\alpha x, x \in[0,1], \alpha \geqslant 0\}
and every function f in Kf \in K can be uniquely written in the form f=g+hf=g+h with g in Ug \in U and h in Ch \in C, where h(x)=f(1)x,x in[0,1]h(x)=f(1) x, x \in[0,1] and
{:[U={g∣g(x)=f(x)-f(1)x","x in[0","1]","f in K}],[C={h∣h(x)=f(1)x","x in[0","1]","f in K}]:}\begin{gathered}
U=\{g \mid g(x)=f(x)-f(1) x, x \in[0,1], f \in K\} \\
C=\{h \mid h(x)=f(1) x, x \in[0,1], f \in K\}
\end{gathered}
Since MM is KK-Chebyshevian it follows that the metric projection operator P_(M//K)P_{M / K} is one-valued, continuous, additive and positively homogeneous. 2^(@)2^{\circ} For x_(0)in(0,1)x_{0} \in(0,1) fixed, consider the linear space
(10) X:=Lip_(x_(0))[0,1]={f//f:[0,1]rarrRX:=\operatorname{Lip}_{x_{0}}[0,1]=\{f / f:[0,1] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, f is Lipschitz on [0,1][0,1] and {:f(x_(0))=0}\left.f\left(x_{0}\right)=0\right\}, with the Lipschits norm (7).
the annihilator in Lip_(x_(0))[0,1]\operatorname{Lip}_{x_{0}}[0,1] of the set {0,x_(0),1}\left\{0, x_{0}, 1\right\}, and
(12) K:={f in Lipx_(x_(0))[0,1]:f(x) >= 0:}K:=\left\{f \in \operatorname{Lip} x_{x_{0}}[0,1]: f(x) \geqslant 0\right., for all x in[0,1]x \in[0,1] ).
Again, MM is a KK-proximinal subspace of Lip_(x_(0))[0,1]\mathrm{Lip}_{x_{0}}[0,1].
Indeed, for f in Kf \in K let
{:[(13)E(f)={F inIip_(x_(0))[0,1]:F|_({0,x_(0),1})=f|_({0,x_(0),1}):}" and "],[||F^(')||_(L)=max{(f(0))/(x_(0)),(f(1))/(1-x_(0))}]:}\begin{gather*}
E(f)=\left\{F \in \operatorname{Iip}_{x_{0}}[0,1]:\left.F\right|_{\left\{0, x_{0}, 1\right\}}=\left.f\right|_{\left\{0, x_{0}, 1\right\}}\right. \text { and } \tag{13}\\
\left\|F^{\prime}\right\|_{L}=\max \left\{\frac{f(0)}{x_{0}}, \frac{f(1)}{1-x_{0}}\right\}
\end{gather*}
be the set of the extensions to [0,1][0,1] of the function f|_({0,x_(0),1})\left.f\right|_{\left\{0, x_{0}, 1\right\}} which preserver the Lipschitz norm of ff on {0,x_(0),1}\left\{0, x_{0}, 1\right\}.
Then
(14)
and
P_(M//K)(f)=f-E(f)P_{M / K}(f)=f-E(f)
Ker P_(M//K)={f inK:||f||_(L)=max{(f(0))/(x_(0)),(f(1))/(1-a_((j)))}}\mathbb{P}_{M / K}=\left\{f \in \mathbb{K}:\|f\|_{L}=\max \left\{\frac{f(0)}{x_{0}}, \frac{f(1)}{1-a_{(j)}}\right\}\right\}
[4], Lemma 1).
In this case the cone C sub KerP_(M//K)C \subset \operatorname{Ker} P_{M / K} is given by
{:(15)C:={h inKer^(r)P_(M//K):h(x)=a(x-x_(0))," for "x in[0,x_(0)]:}:}\begin{equation*}
C:=\left\{h \in \mathrm{Ker}^{r} P_{M / K}: h(x)=a\left(x-x_{0}\right), \text { for } x \in\left[0, x_{0}\right]\right. \tag{15}
\end{equation*}
and
{:h(x)=beta(x-x_(0))", for "x in(x_(0),1],alpha <= 0" and "beta >= 0}.\left.h(x)=\beta\left(x-x_{0}\right) \text {, for } x \in\left(x_{0}, 1\right], \alpha \leqslant 0 \text { and } \beta \geqslant 0\right\} .
Then every f in Kf \in K can be uniquely written in the form f=u_(f)+c_(f)f=u_{f}+c_{f}, u_(f)in Uu_{f} \in U and c_(f)in Cc_{f} \in C where
{:[(16)c_(f)(x)=-(f(0))/(x_(0))(x-x_(0))","" fol "x in[0,x_(0)]],[=(f(1))/(1-x_(0))(x-x_(0))","" for "x in(x_(0),1]]:}\begin{align*}
& c_{f}(x)=-\frac{f(0)}{x_{0}}\left(x-x_{0}\right), \text { fol } x \in\left[0, x_{0}\right] \tag{16}\\
& =\frac{f(1)}{\mathbb{1}-x_{0}}\left(x-x_{0}\right), \text { for } x \in\left(x_{0}, 1\right]
\end{align*}𝟙
and
(17) quadu_(f)(x)=f(x)+(f(0))/(x_(0))(x-x_(0)),quad\quad u_{f}(x)=f(x)+\frac{f(0)}{x_{0}}\left(x-x_{0}\right), \quad for quad x in[0,x_(0)]\quad x \in\left[0, x_{0}\right]
=f(x)-(f(1))/(1-x_(0))(x-x_(0))," for "x in[x_(0),1].=f(x)-\frac{f(1)}{1-x_{0}}\left(x-x_{0}\right), \text { for } x \in\left[x_{0}, 1\right] .
In fact
{:[U:={u_(f)in M∣u_(f)" defined by (17), "f in K}" and "],[quad C:={c_(f)in K∣c_(f)" defined by (16), "f in K}.]:}\begin{gathered}
U:=\left\{u_{f} \in M \mid u_{f} \text { defined by (17), } f \in K\right\} \text { and } \\
\quad C:=\left\{c_{f} \in K \mid c_{f} \text { defined by (16), } f \in K\right\} .
\end{gathered}
A continuous, additive and positively homogeneous selection for P_(M//K)P_{M / K} is given by q(f)=u_(f),f in Kq(f)=u_{f}, f \in K, a fact which can be immediately verified. Remarks. Theorem A gives only a sufficient condition for the existence of an additive, positively homogeneous and continuous selection for P_(M//K)P_{M / K}.
Simple examples show that this condition is not necessary for the existence of a selection with the above-mentioned properties.
Let X=R^(2)X=\mathbb{R}^{2} endowed with the Enclidean norm and let
and
M:={(x,0):x inR}.M:=\{(x, 0): x \in \mathbb{R}\} .
Then, obviously, the subspace MM is KK-Chebyshevian and Ker P_(M//K)={(0,0)}P_{M / K}=\{(0,0)\}.
In this case P_(m//k)P_{m / k} is a continuous, positively homogeneous and additive application from KK to MM, but KK does not admit any decomposition of the form (5).
