Unicity of the projection on a closed convex subset of $L^p$












1












$begingroup$


The original problem (not full) statement is the following :




Let $(Omega, mathfrak{B},mu)$ a measured space and $p>1$ and let $C$ be a closed convex subset of $L^p$.



For $uin L^p$ let $d_u:=inf{|phi-u |, phi in C}$



Through some questions, the problem shows the existence of a $phi in C$ such that $|phi-u |=d_u$.




The problem I have is with unicity. I read somewhere on MSE that the $L^p$ norm is strictly convex, which implies unicity.



As far as I know, no norm is strictly convex, so the previous affirmation might be wrong so how could we deal with unicity.

    is $p=infty$ possible? Because i think then the solution is not unique

Hint:



For $pin(1,infty)$, assume there are two different solutions $phi,psiin C$.
Then, by convexity of the norm, one can show that $(phi+psi)/2$ is closer to $u$ than $phi$ or $psi$.



In order to show the last part, you have to use the fact that for real numbers $a,b$ it holds that
$$
| (a+b)/2 | ^p = (|a|^p+|b|^p)/2
quadLeftrightarrowquad
a = b.
