In 1973 J. C. Wells showed that a variant of the Whitney extension theorem holds for $C^{1,1}$-smooth real-valued functions on Hilbert spaces. In 2021 D. Azagra and C. Mudarra generalised this result to $C^{1,\omega}$-smooth functions on…

The Whitney near extension problem for finite sets in $\mathbb R^d,\, d\geq 2$ asks the following: Let $\phi:E\to \mathbb R^d$ be a near distortion on a finite set $E\subset \mathbb R^d$ with certain geometry. How to decide whether $\phi$…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be an open, connected subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $F\colon\Omega-\Omega\to\mathbb{C}$, where $\Omega-\Omega=\{x-y\colon x,y\in\Omega\}$, be a continuous positive definite function. We give necessary and…

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…

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 $U\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ be open and convex. We prove that every (not necessarily Lipschitz or strongly) convex function $f:U\to\mathbb{R}$ can be approximated by real analytic convex functions, uniformly on all of $U$. We also show…

We prove a variant of the standard Whitney extension theorem for $\mathcal C^m(\mathbb R^n)$, in which the norm of the extension operator has polynomial growth in $n$ for fixed $m$.

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…

In this article we study the validity of the Whitney $C^1$ extension property for horizontal curves in sub-Riemannian manifolds endowed with 1-jets that satisfy a first-order Taylor expansion compatibility condition. We first consider the…

The Whitney extension theorem is a classical result in analysis giving a necessary and sufficient condition for a function defined on a closed set to be extendable to the whole space with a given class of regularity. It has been adapted to…

Let (X,d) be a metric space and $ \alpha > 0 $. In this paper, we study extensions of some complex-valued Lipschitz functions, from some special subset $ X_0 $ to X. These extensions are with no-increasing Lipschitz number or the smallest…

Let $F:[0,T]\times\R^n\mapsto 2^{\R^n}$ be a continuous multifunction with compact, not necessarily convex values. In this paper, we prove that, if $F$ satisfies the following Lipschitz Selection Property: \begin{itemize} \item[{(LSP)}]…

Given a function $f : A \to \mathbb{R}^n$ of a certain regularity defined on some open subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^m$, it is a classical problem of analysis to investigate whether the function can be extended to all of $\mathbb{R}^m$ in…

We introduce a modified version of the Whitney extension operators for collections of functions from a closed subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ into scales of Banach spaces with smoothing operators. We prove an extension theorem for collections…

Let us consider a Riemannian manifold $M$ (either separable or non-separable). We prove that, for every $\epsilon>0$, every Lipschitz function $f:M\rightarrow\mathbb R$ can be uniformly approximated by a Lipschitz, $C^1$-smooth function $g$…

We construct a differentiable locally Lipschitz function $f$ in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ with the property that for every convex body $K\subset \mathbb{R}^N$ there exists $\bar x \in \mathbb{R}^N$ such that $K$ coincides with the set $\partial_L…

We prove that, given a planar bi-Lipschitz homeomorphism $u$ defined on the boundary of the unit square, it is possible to extend it to a function $v$ of the whole square, in such a way that $v$ is still bi-Lipschitz. In particular,…

Let $(M,\rho)$ be a metric space and let $Y$ be a Banach space. Given a positive integer $m$, let $F$ be a set-valued mapping from $M$ into the family of all compact convex subsets of $Y$ of dimension at most $m$. In this paper we prove a…

We prove an analogue of the Lewy extension theorem for a real dimension $2n$ smooth submanifold $M \subset {\mathbb C}^{n}\times {\mathbb R}$, $n \geq 2$. A theorem of Hill and Taiani implies that if $M$ is CR and the Levi-form has a…

We study continuity and regularity of convex extensions of functions from a compact set $C$ to its convex hull $K$. We show that if $C$ contains the relative boundary of $K$, and $f$ is a continuous convex function on $C$, then $f$ extends…
