Abstract

For every Banach space (Y,Y)(Y,\|\cdot\|_Y) that admits an equivalent uniformly convex norm we prove that there exists c=c(Y)(0,)c=c(Y)\in (0,\infty) with the following property. Suppose that nNn\in \mathbb{N} and that XX is an nn-dimensional normed space with unit ball BXB_X. Then for every 11-Lipschitz function f:BXYf:B_X\to Y and for every ε(0,1/2]\varepsilon\in (0,1/2] there exists a radius rexp(1/εcn)r\ge\exp(-1/\varepsilon^{cn}), a point xBXx\in B_X with x+rBXBXx+rB_X\subset B_X, and an affine mapping Λ:XY\Lambda:X\to Y such that f(y)Λ(y)Yεr\|f(y)-\Lambda(y)\|_Y\le \varepsilon r for every yx+rBXy\in x+rB_X.
