We give the sufficient conditions for the existence of a metric
projection onto convex closed subsets of normed linear spaces
which are reduced conditions than that in the case of reflexive
Banach spaces and we find a general formula for the projections
onto the maximal proper subspaces of the classical Banach spaces
$l_p,1\leq p < \infty$
and $c_0$ . We also give the sufficient
and necessary conditions for an infinite matrix to represent a
projection operator from $l_p,1\leq p < \infty$
or $c_0$ onto
anyone of their maximal proper subspaces.
