We shall study a special case of the following abstract approximation problem: givena normed linear space E and two subspaces, M1 and M2, of E, we seek to approximate fE by elements in the sum of M1 and M2. In particular, we might ask whether closest points to f from M = M1 + M2 exist, and if so, how they are characterised. If we can define proximity maps p1 and p2 for M1 and M2, respectively, then an algorithm analogous to the one given by Diliberto and Straus [4] can be defined by the formulae
