In 1934, H. Whitney introduced the problem of extending a function on a set of points in $\mathbb{R}^n$ to an analytic function on the ambient space. In this article we prove Whitney type extension theorems for data on some homogeneous…

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…

We prove the computability of a version of Whitney Extension, when the input is suitably represented. More specifically, if $F \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ is a closed set represented so that the distance function $x \mapsto d(x,F)$ can be…

We show that definable Whitney jets of class $C^{m,\omega}$, where $m$ is a nonnegative integer and $\omega$ is a modulus of continuity, are the restrictions of definable $C^{m,\omega}$-functions; "definable" refers to an arbitrary given…

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…

We give sufficient conditions for Lipschitz-likeness of a class of polyhedral set-valued mappings in Hilbert spaces based on Relaxed Constant Rank Constraint Qualification (RCRCQ) proposed recently by Minchenko and Stakhovsky. To this aim…

In the setting of horizontal curves in the Heisenberg group, we prove a $C^{m,\omega}$ finiteness principle, a $C^{m,\omega}$ Lusin approximation result, a $C^{\infty}$ Whitney extension result, and a $C^{\infty}$ Lusin approximation…

In this paper we consider finite dimensional dynamical systems generated by a Lipschitz function. We prove a version of the Whitney's Extension Theorem on compact manifolds to obtain a version of the well-known Lambda Lemma for Lipschitz…

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…

We consider homogenization problems for linear elliptic equations in divergence form. The coecients are assumed to be a local perturbation of some periodic background. We prove $W^{1,p}$ and Lipschitz convergence of the two-scale expansion,…

We study a new bi-Lipschitz invariant \lambda(M) of a metric space M; its finiteness means that Lipschitz functions on an arbitrary subset of M can be linearly extended to functions on M whose Lipschitz constants are enlarged by a factor…

Let $F$ be a set-valued mapping which to each point $x$ of a metric space $({\mathcal M},\rho)$ assigns a convex closed set $F(x)\subset{\bf R}^2$. We present several constructive criteria for the existence of a Lipschitz selection of $F$,…

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…

The classical McShane-Whitney extension theorem for Lipschitz functions is refined by showing that for a closed subset of the domain, it remains valid for any interval of the real line. This result is also extended to the setting of locally…

For all $k,n\ge 1$, we construct a biLipschitz embedding of $\mathbb{S}^n$ into the jet space Carnot group $J^k(\mathbb{R}^n)$ that does not admit a Lipschitz extension to $\mathbb{B}^{n+1}$. Let $f:\mathbb{B}^n\to \mathbb{R}$ be a smooth,…
