On Well Posed Best Approximation Problems for a Nonsymmetric Seminorm

Grigorii E. Ivanov

Let

M M
be a closed convex (generally unbounded) subset of a Banach space
E E
with
0 0
being an interior point of
M M
,
A A
be a closed subset of
E E
. Let
T_{M}(A) T M ( A )
be the set of all
x_{0}\in E x 0 ∈ E
such that the problem
\smash{\min\limits_{a\in A}}\, \mu_{M} (x_{0}-a) min ⁡ a ∈ A   μ M ( x 0 − a )
is well posed, where
\mu_{M} μ M
is the Minkowski functional of
M M
, so
\mu_{M} μ M
is a nonsymmetric seminorm. We obtain some asymptotic properties (appearance far from the origin) of
M M
which are necessary and/or sufficient for
S_{M}^{\mathop{\rm int}}(A)\setminus T_{M}(A) S M i n t ( A ) ∖ T M ( A )
to be a meagre or a
\sigma σ
-porous subset of
S_{M}^{\mathop{\rm int}}(A)=\left\{x_{0}\in E\Big|\ 0<\varrho_{M}(x_{0},A)<\sup\limits_{x\in E}\varrho_{M}(x,A)\right\}\, S M i n t ( A ) = { x 0 ∈ E ∣   0 < ϱ M ( x 0 , A ) < sup ⁡ x ∈ E ϱ M ( x , A ) }  
where
\varrho_{M}(x,A)=\inf\limits_{a\in A}\mu_{M}(x-a) ϱ M ( x , A ) = inf ⁡ a ∈ A μ M ( x − a )
