Abstract: Kalton and Roberts [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., 278 (1983), 803--816] proved that there exists a universal constant $Kleqslant44.5$ such that for every set algebra $mathcalF$ and every 1-additive function $fcolonmathcalFomathbbR$ there exists a finitely-additive signed measure $mu$ defined on $mathcalF$ such that $|f(A)-mu(A)|leqslantK$ for any $AinmathcalF$. The only known lower bound for the optimal value of $K$ was found by Pawlik [Colloq. Math., 54 (1987), 163--164], who proved that this constant is not smaller than $1.5$; we improve this bound to $3$ already on a non-negative 1-additive function.
