Abstract:

We study the notion of best approximation from a point $x \in {R^n}$ to a ${C^2}$-manifold. Using the concept of radius of curvature, introduced by J. R. Rice, we obtain a formula for the Fréchet derivative of the minimum norm projection (best approximation) of $x \in {R^n}$ into the manifold. We also compute the norm of this derivative in terms of the radius of curvature.
