Abstract
The finite-dimensional problem of the best approximation (in the Hausdorff metric) of a convex body by a ball of arbitrary norm with a fixed radius is considered. The stability and sensitivity of the solution to errors in specifying the convex body to be approximated and the unit ball of the used norm are analyzed. It is shown that the solution of the problem is stable with respect to the functional and, if the solution is unique, the center of the best approximation ball is stable as well. The sensitivity of the solution to the error with respect to the functional is estimated (regardless of the radius of the ball). A sensitivity estimate for the center of the best approximation ball is obtained under the additional assumption that the estimated body and the ball of the used norm are strongly convex. This estimate is related to the range of radii of the approximating ball.
