    Abstract

    We systematically investigate the farthest distance function, farthest
    points, Klee sets, and Chebyshev centers, with respect to Bregman distances
    induced by Legendre functions. These objects are of considerable interest in
    Information Geometry and Machine Learning; when the Legendre function is
    specialized to the energy, one obtains classical notions from Approximation
    Theory and Convex Analysis.
