Let (Ω, ,μ) be a probability space, and let be a sub-sigma-algebra of . Let X be a uniformly convex Banach space. Let A =L∞(Ω, , μ X) denote the Banach space of (equivalence classes of) essentially bounded μ-Bochner integrable functions g: Ω.→ X, normed by the function ∥.∥∞ defined for g ∈ A by
(cf. [6] for a discussion of this space). Let B = L∞(Ω, , μ X), and let f ε A. A sufficient condition for g ε B to be a best L∞-approximation to f by elements of B is established herein.
