We discuss when the best approximant is unique, and what regularity properties the best approximant inherits from the original function. All our approximations are done in the mean with respect to Lebesgue measure in the plane or higher dimensions.Plain TeX, 39 pagesFunctional AnalysisClassical Analysis and ODEsBest approximation in the mean by analytic and harmonic functionstext
