Synopsis

Given a Banach space X, we investigate the behaviour of the metric projection PF onto a subset F with a bounded complement.

We highlight the special role of points at which d(x, F) attains a maximum. In particular, we consider the case of X as a Hilbert space: this case is related to the famous problem of the convexity of Chebyshev sets.
