On the Hahn-Banach theorem in certain quasi-uniform structures (Q1307402): Difference between revisions

The same authors have introduced previously the concept of quasi-norm [Rocky Mt. J. Math. 23, No. 3, 877-884 (1993; Zbl 0803.46007)]. This paper is a continuation of this research and offers a quasi-uniform version of the Hahn-Banach theorem. The theorem reads as follows: Let \((X,q)\) be a quasi-normed space. Let \(Y\) be a linear subspace of \(X\) and let \(g\) be a \(q\)-upper semicontinuous functional defined in \(Y\). Then \(g\) admits a \(q\)-upper semicontinuous extension \(f\) to \(X\) such that \(q(f)\leq q\mid Y(g)\).
