Converse of the projection theorem












5














I am trying to prove the converse of the projection theorem:

If for every $fin H$ there is a $pin M$ such that $|p−f|=inflimits_{vin M}|v−f|$, then $M$ is closed.



Is my proof correct?



Let $p_nin M,n=1,2,ldots,$ be a sequence converging to $gin H$. Then there is a $pin M$ such that $|p−g|=inflimits_{vin M}|v−g|$, so $|p−g|leq |p_n-g|,$ for all $n$. Now as $n$ goes to infinity the RHS goes to zero, so $g=pin M$. Therefore, $M$ contains all its limit points and is closed.

    Your argument is correct (even in more general metric spaces instead of Hilbert space).
