Abstract

Let Ω\Omega be a perfectly normal topological space, let AA be a non-empty GδG_\delta-subset of Ω\Omega and let B1(A)B_1(A) denote the space of all functions ARA\to\mathbb{R} of Baire-one class on AA. Let also \|\cdot\|_\infty be the supremum norm. The symbol χA\chi_A stands for the characteristic function of AA. We prove that for every bounded function fB1(A)f\in B_1(A) there is a sequence (Hn)(H_n) of both FσF_\sigma- and GδG_\delta-subsets of Ω\Omega such that the function f ⁣:ΩR\overline{f}\colon\Omega\to\mathbb{R} given by the uniformly convergent series on Ω\Omega with the formula: f:=cn=0(23)n+1(12χHn)\overline{f}:=c\sum_{n=0}^\infty\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{n+1}\left(\frac{1}{2}-\chi_{H_n}\right) extends ff with fB1(Ω)\overline{f}\in B_1(\Omega) and the condition (\triangle) of the form: f(A)=f(Ω)\|f(A)\|_\infty=\|\overline{f}(\Omega)\|_\infty. We apply the above series to obtain an extension of ff positive to f\overline{f} positive with the condition (\triangle). A similar technique allows us to obtain an extension of Baire-alpha function on AA to Baire-alpha function on Ω\Omega.
