Let $C$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ (not necessarily convex), $f:C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function, and $G:C\to\mathbb{R}^n$ be a uniformly continuous function, with modulus of continuity $\omega$. We provide a necessary and sufficient…

The purpose of this paper is to address a manifold-based version of Whitney's extension problem: Given a compact set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, how can we tell if there exists a $d$-dimensional, $C^m$-smooth manifold $\mathcal{M}\supset E$? We…

Whitney's extension problem asks the following: Given a compact set $E\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ and a function $f:E\to \mathbb{R}$, how can we tell whether there exists $F\in C^m(\mathbb{R}^n)$ such that $F=f$ on $E$? A 2006 theorem of Charles…

Let $ f $ be a real-valued function on a compact subset in $ \mathbb{R}^n $. We show how to decide if $ f $ extends to a nonnegative and $ C^1 $ function on $ \mathbb{R}^n $. There has been no known result for nonnegative $ C^m $ extension…

Let $E \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a compact set, and $f:E \to \mathbb{R}$. How can we tell if there exists a convex extension $F \in C^{1,1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of $f$, i.e. satisfying $F|_E = f|_E$? Assuming such an extension exists, how small…

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 consider a global, nonlinear version of the Whitney extension problem for manifold-valued smooth functions on closed domains $C$, with non-smooth boundary, in possibly non-compact manifolds. Assuming $C$ is a submanifold with corners, or…

Let $\mathbb{H}$ be a Hilbert space, $E \subset \mathbb{H}$ be an arbitrary subset and $f: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, \: G: E \rightarrow \mathbb{H}$ be two functions. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the pair $(f,G)$ for the…

Let $K$ be a compact subset of a totally-real manifold $M$, where $M$ is either a $\mathcal{C}^2$-smooth graph in $\mathbb{C}^{2n}$ over $\mathbb{C}^n$, or $M=u^{-1}\{0\}$ for a $\mathcal{C}^2$-smooth submersion $u$ from $\mathbb{C}^n$ to…

For an arbitrary set $E \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, and functions $f:E \to \mathbb{R}$, $G: E\to \mathbb{R}^n$ with $G$ bounded, we construct $C^1(\mathbb{R}^n)$ convex extensions $(F, \nabla F)$ of $(f,G)$ with the sharp Lipschitz constant $$…

Let $X$ be a Banach space with a separable dual $X^{*}$. Let $Y\subset X$ be a closed subspace, and $f:Y\to\mathbb{R}$ a $C^{1}$-smooth function. Then we show there is a $C^{1}$ extension of $f$ to $X$.

In this announcement we consider the following problem. Let $n,m\geq 1$, $U\subset\mathbb R^n$ open. In this paper we provide a sharp solution to the following Whitney distortion extension problems: (a) Let $\phi:U\to \mathbb R^n$ be a…

Let $G \subset {\mathbb R}^{n}$ be an open convex set which is either bounded or contains a translation of a convex cone with nonempty interior. It is known that then, for every modulus $\omega$, every function on $G$ which is both…

The paper is devoted to a comprehensive study of smoothness of inertial manifolds for abstract semilinear parabolic problems. It is well known that in general we cannot expect more than $C^{1,\varepsilon}$-regularity for such manifolds (for…

We prove the existence of holomorphic functions $f$ defined on any open convex subset ${\rm \Omega}\subset {{\mathbb C}}^n$, whose partial sums of the Taylor developments approximate uniformly any complex polynomial on any convex compact…

Our paper is a complement to a recent article by D. Azagra and C. Mudarra (2021). We show how older results on semiconvex functions with modulus $\omega$ easily imply extension theorems for $C^{1,\omega}$-smooth functions on super-reflexive…

It is proved that any smooth manifold $\mathcal M$ of dimension $m$ admits a smooth polynomially convex embedding into $\mathbb C^n$ when $n\geq \lfloor 5m/4\rfloor$. Further, such embeddings are dense in the space of smooth maps from…

Let $E$ be an arbitrary subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ (not necessarily bounded), and $f:E\to\mathbb{R}$, $G:E\to\mathbb{R}^n$ be functions. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the $1$-jet $(f,G)$ to have an extension $(F, \nabla…
