Abstract
In a three-dimensional normed space \(X\), any bounded Chebyshev set is monotone path connected if and only if one of the following two conditions holds: (1) the set of extreme points of the sphere in the dual space is dense in this sphere; (2) \(X=Y\oplus_\infty \mathbb R\) (i.e., the unit sphere of \(X\) is a cylinder).
