Birkhoff-James extensions of continuous functions on metric spaces

Functional Analysis 2021-08-31 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we extend the investigations regarding Birkhoff-James orthogonality of linear operators to bounded continuous functions on metric spaces. We introduce Birkhoff-James extensions of continuous functions and study them in detail, in the separate contexts of compact and non-compact metric spaces. We conclude by discussing an application of our ideas to the study of Birkhoff-James orthogonality in C(X)C(X) with the supremum norm, where XX is a compact metric space.
