For a normed linear space $$X$$ and a nonempty subset $$M$$, the metric projection $$P_M$$ is a set-valued mapping of $$X$$ to $$M$$ defined by $$P_Mx=\{y \in M\mid \inf _{z \in M}\|x-z\| =\|x-y\|\}$$ for $$x \in X$$. A selection of the metric projection is a single-valued mapping $$f : X \to M$$ satisfying $$f(x) \in P_Mx$$ for any $$x \in X$$. The set $$M$$ is called a sun if for any $$x \in X \setminus M$$ there exists $$y \in P_Mx$$ such that $$y \in P_M((1-\lambda)y+\lambda x)$$ for all $$\lambda\geq0$$, and $$M$$ is called an existence set if $$P_Mx \ne \varnothing$$ for any $$x \in X$$.
I. G. Tsar’kov [Math. Notes 47, No. 2, 218–227 (1990; Zbl 0703.46010); translation from Mat. Zametki 47, No. 2, 137–148 (1990)] proved that in a finite-dimensional Banach space an existence set with lower semicontinuous metric projection is a sun and has acyclic intersections with closed balls. In this paper, the author proves the following theorem: Let $$X$$ be a finite-dimensional Banach space with one of the following properties: (1) $$\dim X\leq 3$$; (2) $$X$$ is a (BM)-space introduced by A. L. Brown [Math. Ann. 279, No. 1–2, 87–101 (1987; Zbl 0607.41027)]; (3) $$X$$ is in the class (RBR) introduced by N. V. Nevesenko [Math. Notes 23, 308–312 (1978; Zbl 0408.41019)]. Then any closed set with lower semicontinuous metric projection in $$X$$ is a sun, admits a continuous selection of the metric projection, has contractible intersections with balls, and its (nonempty) intersection with any closed ball is a retract of this ball. The author also proves theorems on related properties.
