Abstract

Let EE be an arbitrary subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and f:ERf:E\to\mathbb{R}, G:ERnG:E\to\mathbb{R}^n be given functions. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a convex function FCloc1,1(Rn)F\in C^{1,1}_{\textrm{loc}}(\mathbb{R}^n) such that F=fF=f and F=G\nabla F=G on EE. We give a useful explicit formula for such an extension FF, and a variant of our main result for the class Cloc1,ωC^{1, \omega}_{\textrm{loc}}, where ω\omega is a modulus of continuity. We also present two applications of these results, concerning how to find Cloc1,1C^{1,1}_{\textrm{loc}} convex hypersurfaces with prescribed tangent hyperplanes on a given subset of Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and some explicit formulas for (not necessarily convex) Cloc1,1C^{1,1}_{\textrm{loc}} extensions of 11-jets.
