Let M be a closed subset of a Banach space E such that the norms of both E and E* are Fréchet differentiable. It is shown that the distance function d(·, M) is Fréchet differentiable at a point x of E ∼ M if and only if the metric projection onto M exists and is continuous at X. If the norm of E is, moreover, uniformly Gateaux differentiable, then the metric projection is continuous at x provided the distance function is Gateaux differentiable with norm-one derivative. As a corollary, the set M is convex provided the distance function is differentiable at each point of E ∼ M. Examples are presented to show that some of our hypotheses are needed.

This paper is devoted to the study of the metric projection onto a nonempty closed convex subset of a general Banach space. Thanks to a systematic use of semi-inner products and duality mappings, characterizations of the metric projection are given. Applications to decompositions of Banach spaces along convex cones and variational inequalities are presented.

We show a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of metric projection on a class of half-spaceKx0*,c={x∈X:x*(x)≤c}in Banach space. Two representations of metric projectionsPKx0*,candPKx0,care given, respectively, whereKx0,cstands for dual half-space ofKx0*,cin dual spaceX*. By these representations, a series of continuity results of the metric projectionsPKx0*,candPKx0,care given. We also provide the characterization that a metric projection is a linear bounded operator.

Analogues of Khintchine's Theorem in simultaneous Diophantine approximation in the plane are proved with the classical height replaced by fairly general planar distance functions or equivalently star bodies. Khintchine's transference principle is discussed for distance functions and a direct proof for the multiplicative version is given. A transference principle is also established for a different distance function.

Many problems of operations research and mathematical physics can be formulated in the form of variational inequalities. The development and research of algorithms for solving variational inequalities is an actively developing area of applied nonlinear analysis. Note that often nonsmooth optimization problems can be effectively solved if they are reformulated in the form of saddle point problems and algorithms for solving variational inequalities are applied. Recently, there has been progress in the study of algorithms for problems in Banach spaces. This is due to the wide involvement of the results and constructions of the geometry of Banach spaces. A new algorithm for solving variational inequalities in a Banach space is proposed and studied. In addition, the Alber generalized projection is used instead of the metric projection onto the feasible set. An attractive feature of the algorithm is only one computation at the iterative step of the projection onto the feasible set. For variational inequalities with monotone Lipschitz operators acting in a 2-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space, a theorem on the weak convergence of the method is proved.

An order concept, ≽(y), is introduced and interpreted as a correspondence. Some common structural properties imposed on ≽(y) are discussed. A distance function, d(x,y;g), is derived from ≽(y) and interpreted as a cardinal representation of the underlying binary relation expressed in the units of the numeraire g∈ℝ^{N}. Properties of distance functions and their superdifferential and subdifferential correspondences are treated. The chapter closes by studying the structural consequences for d(x,y;g) of different convexity axioms imposed on ≽(y).

The aim of the paper is to prove a theorem about the existence of an approximate solution to an abstract nonlinear nonlocal Cauchy problem in a Banach space. The right-hand side of the nonlocal condition belongs to a locally closed subset of a Banach space. The paper is a continuation of papers [1], [2] and generalizes some results from [3].

SynopsisGiven a Banach space X, we investigate the behaviour of the metric projection PF onto a subset F with a bounded complement.We highlight the special role of points at which d(x, F) attains a maximum. In particular, we consider the case of X as a Hilbert space: this case is related to the famous problem of the convexity of Chebyshev sets.

Let CL(X) denote the nonempty closed subsets of a metric space X. We answer the following question: in which spaces X is the Kuratowski convergence of a sequence {Cn} in CL(X) to a nonempty closed set C equivalent to the pointwise convergence of the distance functions for the sets in the sequence to the distance function for C ? We also obtain some related results from two general convergence theorems for equicontinuous families of real valued functions regarding the convergence of graphs and epigraphs of functions in the family.
