A CHARACTERIZATION OF STRICTLY CONVEX METRICT. D. NarangDepartment of Mathematics, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar 143005, IndiaAbstract: A subset $G$ of a metric linear space $(E,d)$ is said to be semi-Chebyshev if each element of $E$ has at most approximation in $G$ and the space $(E,d)$ is said to be strictly convex if $d(x,0)\leq r$, $d(y,0) \leq r$ imply $d((x+y)/2,0)< r$ unless $x=y$; $y\in E$ and $r$ is any positive real number. We prove that a metric linear space $(E,d)$ is strictly convex if and only if all convex subsets of $E$ are semi-Chebyshev. Classification (MSC2000): 41A52 Full text of the article:
