Abstract

Let X,YX,Y be two Hilbert spaces, EE a subset of XX and G:EYG: E \to Y a Lipschitz mapping. A famous theorem of Kirszbraun's states that there exists G~:XY\widetilde{G} : X \to Y with G~=G\widetilde{G}=G on EE and Lip(G~)=Lip(G).\textrm{Lip}(\widetilde{G})=\textrm{Lip}(G). In this note we show that in fact the function G~:=Y(conv(g))(,0),where\widetilde{G}:=\nabla_Y(\textrm{conv}(g))( \cdot , 0), \qquad \text{where} g(x,y)=infzE{G(z),y+M2(xz,y)2}+M2(x,y)2, g(x,y) = \inf_{z \in E} \lbrace \langle G(z), y \rangle + \tfrac{M}{2} \|(x-z,y)\|^2 \rbrace + \tfrac{M}{2}\|(x,y)\|^2, defines such an extension. We apply this formula to get an extension result for {\em strongly biLipschitz homeomorphisms.} Related to the latter, we also consider extensions of C1,1C^{1,1} strongly convex functions.
