Let X be a Banach space and G a subspace of X. A point g0 ∈ G is said to be a best simultaneous approximation for a bounded set A ⊆ X if d(A, G) = inf g∈G sup a∈A ka − gk = sup a∈A ka − g0k. In this paper we prove that if F and G are two subspaces of a Banach space X such that G is reflexive and F is simultaneously proximinal, then F + G is simultaneously proximinal provided that F ∩ G is finite dimensional and F + G is closed. Some other related results are also presented.
