Abstract
In this paper, we address the question whether in a given Banach space, a Chebyshev center of a nonempty bounded subset can be a farthest point of the set. We obtain a characterization of two-dimensional real strictly convex spaces as those ones where a Chebyshev center cannot contribute to the set of farthest points of a subset. In dimension greater than two, every non-Hilbert smooth space contains a subset whose Chebyshev center is a farthest point. We explore the scenario in uniformly convex Banach spaces and further study the roles played by centerability and Mcompactness in the scheme of things to obtain a step by step characterization of strictly convex Banach spaces.
