Some stability properties of restricted Chebyshev centers in Banach spaces

Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the stability of (restricted) Chebyshev centers in few function spaces. For an extremally disconnected compact Hausdorff space $K$ and a finite dimensional Banach space $X$, we prove the existence of Chebyshev centers of closed bounded subsets of the space of $X$-valued continuous functions on $K$, $C(K,X)$ and that of compact subsets of $M$-ideals in $C(K,X)$. It is also proved that the existence of restricted Chebyshev centers is stable in the space of vector-valued bounded functions on an arbitrary set. Furthermore, the stability of continuity properties of the Chebyshev-center map of a Banach space $X$ in dependence on the continuity properties of the Chebyshev-center map of $C(K,X)$ is studied.
