The problems related to the need to approximate complex mathematical objects in the best possible way with simpler and more convenient ones arise in various sections of mathematical science. An important class of approximation theory problems is the best simultaneous approximation of several elements. The problem of finding the Chebyshev center of several points of a linear normalized space relative to the set of this space can be attributed to the problems of best simultaneous approximation of several elements. This task consists in finding in a given set of linear normed space such a point (the relative Chebyshev center) the maximum distance to which from several fixed points of space would be the smallest, in other words not exceeding the maximum distance from the given points to any other point of this set. The problems of the best simultaneous approximation of several elements of a linear normed space by convex sets of this space from single positions were considered, in particular, in works [1, 2]. In practice, one has to deal with such problems, in which, when finding the Chebyshev's center of several given points of a linear normed space relative to the set of this space, appear weighted distances. The task of finding the weighted distances of the Chebyshev’s center was considered, in particular, in the paper [3]. In this work, the criteria of generalized Chebyshov’s center in the sense of the weighted distances of the of several points of a linear normed space relative to the convex set of this space, based on the duality ratio for the corresponding extremal problem, are established. If in the problem of the Chebyshev's center of several points of a linear normed space, in which the distances between points are determined by weighted norms, the weighted norms are replaced, generally speaking, by different norms given on the corresponding linear space, then we obtain the problem of the Chebyshev's center of several points of some polynormed space, which is considered in this work. It is clear that the problems about the Chebyshev's center of several points of a linear normed space, which were discussed above, are partial cases of the problem about the Chebyshev center of several points of some polynormed space.
