We establish that if the closed unit ball of a closed subspace of a Banach space $X$ possesses property-$(P_1)$ for each of the classes of closed bounded, compact and finite subsets of $X$, then so does the subspace. It is also proved that the closed unit ball of an $M$-ideal in an $L_{1}$-predual space satisfies property-$(P_{1})$ for the compact subsets of the space. For a Choquet simplex $K$, we provide a sufficient condition for the closed unit ball of a finite co-dimensional closed subspace of $A(K)$ to satisfy property-$(P_{1})$ for the compact subsets of $A(K)$. This condition also helps to establish the equivalence of strong proximinality of the closed unit ball of a finite co-dimensional subspace of $A(K)$ and property-$(P_{1})$ of the closed unit ball of the subspace for the compact subsets of $A(K)$. Further, for a compact Hausdorff space $S$, a characterization is provided for a strongly proximinal finite co-dimensional closed subspace of $C(S)$ in terms of property-$(P_{1})$ of the subspace and that of its closed unit ball for the compact subsets of $C(S)$. As a consequence, we prove that such a subspace is a finite intersection of hyperplanes such that each of these hyperplanes satisfy property-$(P_1)$ for its closed unit balls for the compact subsets of the $L_1$-predual space and vice-versa. We generalize this characterization for a strongly proximinal finite co-dimensional closed subspace of an $L_{1}$-predual space. We conclude this article by providing an example of a closed subspace of a non-reflexive Banach space which satisfies $1 \\frac{1}{2}$-ball property and does not admit restricted Chebyshev centre for a closed bounded subset of the Banach space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-02T04:36:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "41A65", "41A50", "52A07", "46E15" ], "keywords": [ "closed unit ball", "banach space", "compact subsets", "proximinal finite co-dimensional closed subspace", "strongly proximinal finite co-dimensional" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
