Let V be a finite-dimensional Haar subspace of C[a, b] and let Φ be a finite, definite Young function. Then every x ∈ C[a, b] \ V has a unique best f Φ and · (Φ) approximation. Proof. t.

As x − v0 is continuous we have for all t ∈ [a, b] 1 1 Φ(x − v1 )(t) + Φ(x − v2 )(t) − Φ(x − v0 )(t) = 0.

Let at first v0 be a best f Φ approximation and let Z be the set of zeros of x−v0 . 2 for all h ∈ V {h>0}\Z hΦ+ (x − v0 )dμ + {h<0}\Z hΦ− (x − v0 )dμ ≥ 0. 5) If x − v0 has only k < n zeros with change of sign, say t1 , . . 9 find a v1 ∈ V such that sign v1 (t) = − sign(x(t) − v0 (t)) for all t ∈ [a, b] \ Z. As Φ is symmetrical and definite, we have for s ∈ R \ {0} sign Φ+ (s) = sign Φ− (s) = − sign Φ+ (−s) = − sign Φ− (−s). 5) are negative, a contradiction. If Φ is differentiable at 0, then Φ (0) = 0 and hence also Z hΦ (x − v0 )dμ = 0.
