We also characterize the coproximinal subspaces and the co-Chebyshev subspaces of $ \\mathcal{D}_n $ in terms of the $ * $-Property. We observe that a complete characterization of the best coapproximation problem in $ \\ell_{\\infty}^n $ follows directly as a particular case of our approach.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-29T15:25:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46B20", "47L05" ], "keywords": [ "diagonal matrices", "birkhoff-james orthogonality techniques", "best coapproximation problem", "coproximinal subspaces", "co-chebyshev subspaces" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Taylor-Francis" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
