Extensions of vector-valued Baire one functions with preservation of points of continuity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove an extension theorem (with non-tangential limits) for vector-valued Baire one functions. Moreover, at every point where the function is continuous (or bounded), the continuity (or boundedness) is preserved. More precisely: Let H be a closed subset of a metric space X and let Z be a normed vector space. Let f:HoZ be a Baire one function. We show that there is a continuous function g:(XsetminusH)oZ such that, for every ainpartialH, the non-tangential limit of g at a equals f(a) and, moreover, if f is continuous at ainH (respectively bounded in a neighborhood of ainH) then the extension F=fcupg is continuous at a (respectively bounded in a neighborhood of a). We also prove a result on pointwise approximation of vector-valued Baire one functions by a sequence of locally Lipschitz functions that converges "uniformly" (or, "continuously") at points where the approximated function is continuous. In an accompanying paper (Extensions of vector-valued functions with preservation of derivatives), the main result is applied to extensions of vector-valued functions defined on a closed subset of Euclidean or Banach space with preservation of differentiability, continuity and (pointwise) Lipschitz property.


The authors prove an extension theorem for vector-valued Baire one functions. They show that if \(H\) is a closed subset of a metric space \(X\), \(Z\) is a normed vector space and \(f:H\to Z\) is a Baire one function, then there is a continuous function \(g:X\setminus H\to Z\) such that the non-tangential limit of \(g\) at \(a\in\partial H\) equals \(f(a)\), and, moreover, if \(f\) is continuous at \(a\in H\) (bounded in a neighborhood of \(a\in H\)) then the extension \(F=f\cup g\) is continuous at \(a\) (bounded in a neighborhood of \(a\)).
