Abstract: | A set in a metric space is called a ?eby?ev set if it contains a unique “nearest neighbour” to each point of the space. In this paper we introduce the concept of a monotone arc of convex sets and show that compact monotone arcs have the ?eby?ev property in the hyperspace of compact strictly convex sets. In the hyperspace of compact convex sets only certain monotone arcs are ?eby?ev ; these are characterized. Results are also obtained for affine segments and for noncompact monotone arcs. |
