We study universal approximation of continuous functionals on compact subsets of products of Hilbert spaces. We prove that any such functional can be uniformly approximated by models that first take finitely many continuous linear…

We study the structure of the space of coarse Lipschitz maps between Banach spaces. In particular we introduce the notion of norm attaining coarse Lipschitz maps. We extend to the case of norm attaining coarse Lipschitz equivalences, a…

This paper studies approximation properties of linear sampling operators in general Banach lattices $X$. We obtain matching direct and inverse approximation estimates, convergence criteria, equivalence results involving special…

Let $X$ and $Z$ be Banach spaces, $A$ a closed subset of $X$ and a mapping $f:A \to Z$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions to obtain a $C^1$ smooth mapping $F:X \to Z$ such that $F_{\mid_A}=f$, when either (i) $X$ and $Z$ are…

We prove the following new characterization of $C^p$ (Lipschitz) smoothness in Banach spaces. An infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ has a $C^p$ smooth (Lipschitz) bump function if and only if it has another $C^p$ smooth (Lipschitz) bump…

Let X be a separable Banach space which admits a separating polynomial; in particular X a separable Hilbert space. Let $f:X \rightarrow R$ be bounded, Lipschitz, and $C^1$ with uniformly continuous derivative. Then for each {\epsilon}>0,…

We prove two theorems about differentiable functions on the Banach space C(K), where K is compact. (i) If C(K) admits a non-trivial function of class C^m and of bounded support, then all continuous real-valued functions on C(K) may be…

We show that if $X$ is a Banach space whose dual $X^{*}$ has an equivalent locally uniformly rotund (LUR) norm, then for every open convex $U\subseteq X$, for every $\varepsilon >0$, and for every continuous and convex function $f:U…

Given an open subset $\Omega$ of a Banach space and a Lipschitz function $u_0: \overline{\Omega} \to \mathbb{R},$ we study whether it is possible to approximate $u_0$ uniformly on $\Omega$ by $C^k$-smooth Lipschitz functions which coincide…

We prove that for a given Banach space $X$, the subset of norm attaining Lipschitz functionals in $\mathrm{Lip}_0(X)$ is weakly dense but not strongly dense. Then we introduce a weaker concept of directional norm attainment and demonstrate…

Our note is a complement to recent articles \cite{JS1} (2011) and \cite{JS2} (2013) by M. Jim\'enez-Sevilla and L. S\'anchez-Gonz\'alez which generalise (the basic statement of) the classical Whitney extension theorem for $C^1$-smooth real…

We give a new proof of a recent characterization by Diaz and Mayoral of compactness in the Lebesgue-Bochner spaces $L_X^p$, where $X$ is a Banach space and $1\le p<\infty$, and extend the result to vector-valued Banach function spaces…

We introduce the notions of almost Lipschitz embeddability and nearly isometric embeddability. We prove that for $p\in [1,\infty]$, every proper subset of $L_p$ is almost Lipschitzly embeddable into a Banach space $X$ if and only if $X$…

Let $X$ be a separable Banach space with a separating polynomial. We show that there exists $C\geq 1$ (depending only on $X$) such that for every Lipschitz function $f:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, and every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a…

On any metric space, I provide an intrinsic characterization of those complex-valued functions which are uniform limits of Lipschitz functions. There are applications to function theory on complete Riemannian manifolds and, in particular,…

In 1994, M. M. Popov [On integrability in F-spaces, Studia Math. no 3, 205-220] showed that the fundamental theorem of calculus fails, in general, for functions mapping from a compact interval of the real line into the lp-spaces for 0<p<1,…

We study two types of approximations of Lipschitz maps with derivatives of maximal slopes on Banach spaces. First, we characterize the Radon-Nikod\'ym property in terms of strongly norm attaining Lipschitz maps and maximal derivative…

This article explores the extension of the classical approximation property and its variants to the nonlinear framework of Lipschitz operator theory. Building on Grothendieck's tensor product methodology, we characterize the Lipschitz…

The classical Hahn-Banach theorem is based on a successive point-by-point procedure of extending bounded linear functionals. In the setting of a general metric domain, the conditions are less restrictive and the extension is only required…

We present here a new method for approximating functions defined on superreflexive Banach spaces by differentiable functions with $\alpha$-H\"older derivatives (for some $0<\alpha\leq 1$). The smooth approximation is given by means of an…
