UNIQUENESS OF THE EXTENSION OF SEMI-LIPSCHITZ FUNCTIONS ON QUASI - METRIC SPACES

Costică MUSTĂTA

Let X X XXX be a nonvoid set and d : X × X → [ 0 , ∞ ) d : X × X → [ 0 , ∞ ) d:X xx X rarr[0,oo)d: X \times X \rightarrow[0, \infty)d:X×X→[0,∞) a function satisfying the following conditions:
(i) d ( x , y ) = 0 ⟺ x = y d ( x , y ) = 0 ⟺ x = y d(x,y)=0Longleftrightarrow x=yd(x, y)=0 \Longleftrightarrow x=yd(x,y)=0⟺x=y
(ii) d ( x , y ) ≤ d ( x , z ) + d ( z , y ) d ( x , y ) ≤ d ( x , z ) + d ( z , y ) d(x,y) <= d(x,z)+d(z,y)d(x, y) \leq d(x, z)+d(z, y)d(x,y)≤d(x,z)+d(z,y)
for all x , y , z ∈ X x , y , z ∈ X x,y,z in Xx, y, z \in Xx,y,z∈X. We call d d ddd a quasi-metric on X X XXX and the pair ( X , d X , d X,dX, dX,d ), a quasimetric space. Remark that the main difference with respect to a metric is the symmetry condition, d ( x , y ) = d ( y , x ) d ( x , y ) = d ( y , x ) d(x,y)=d(y,x)d(x, y)=d(y, x)d(x,y)=d(y,x), which is not satisfied by a quasimetric.
The conjugate of a quasi-metric d d ddd,denoted by d − 1 d − 1 d^(-1)d^{-1}d−1 is defined by
(1) d − 1 ( x , y ) = d ( y , x ) (1) d − 1 ( x , y ) = d ( y , x ) {:(1)d^(-1)(x","y)=d(y","x):}\begin{equation*} d^{-1}(x, y)=d(y, x) \tag{1} \end{equation*}(1)d−1(x,y)=d(y,x)
for all x , y ∈ X x , y ∈ X x,y in Xx, y \in Xx,y∈X. Obviously, that the mapping d s : X × X → [ 0 , ∞ ) d s : X × X → [ 0 , ∞ ) d^(s):X xx X rarr[0,oo)d^{s}: X \times X \rightarrow[0, \infty)ds:X×X→[0,∞) defined by
(2) d s ( x , y ) = max { d ( x , y ) , d − 1 ( x , y ) } , x , y ∈ X (2) d s ( x , y ) = max d ( x , y ) , d − 1 ( x , y ) , x , y ∈ X {:(2)d^(s)(x","y)=max{d(x,y),d^(-1)(x,y)}","x","y in X:}\begin{equation*} d^{s}(x, y)=\max \left\{d(x, y), d^{-1}(x, y)\right\}, x, y \in X \tag{2} \end{equation*}(2)ds(x,y)=max{d(x,y),d−1(x,y)},x,y∈X
is a metric on X X XXX, i.e. d s d s d^(s)d^{s}ds satisfies the conditions (i), (ii) and the symmetry condition:
(iii) d s ( x , y ) = d s ( y , x ) , x , y ∈ X (iii) d s ( x , y ) = d s ( y , x ) , x , y ∈ X {:(iii)d^(s)(x","y)=d^(s)(y","x)","quad x","y in X:}\begin{equation*} d^{s}(x, y)=d^{s}(y, x), \quad x, y \in X \tag{iii} \end{equation*}(iii)ds(x,y)=ds(y,x),x,y∈X
A function f : X → R f : X → R f:X rarrRf: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}f:X→R,defined on a quasi-metric space ( X , d X , d X,dX, dX,d ) is called semi-Lipschitz provided there exists a number K ≥ 0 K ≥ 0 K >= 0K \geq 0K≥0 such that
(3) f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ K d ( x , y ) (3) f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ K d ( x , y ) {:(3)f(x)-f(y) <= Kd(x","y):}\begin{equation*} f(x)-f(y) \leq K d(x, y) \tag{3} \end{equation*}(3)f(x)−f(y)≤Kd(x,y)
for all x , y ∈ X x , y ∈ X x,y in Xx, y \in Xx,y∈X. A function f : X → R f : X → R f:X rarrRf: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}f:X→R is called ≤ d − ≤ d − <= _(d^(-))\leq_{d^{-}}≤d−increasing if
(3a) d ( x , y ) = 0 ⟹ f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ 0 (3a) d ( x , y ) = 0 ⟹ f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ 0 {:(3a)d(x","y)=0Longrightarrow f(x)-f(y) <= 0:}\begin{equation*} d(x, y)=0 \Longrightarrow f(x)-f(y) \leq 0 \tag{3a} \end{equation*}(3a)d(x,y)=0⟹f(x)−f(y)≤0
for all x , y ∈ X x , y ∈ X x,y in Xx, y \in Xx,y∈X.
The definition of ≤ d ≤ d <= _(d)\leq_{d}≤d - increasing function f : X → R f : X → R f:X rarrRf: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}f:X→R is consistent for T 0 T 0 T_(0)T_{0}T0 - separated quasi-metric space ( X , d ) ( X , d ) (X,d)(X, d)(X,d) (see [6]). In this note the quasi-metric space ( X . d X . d X.dX . dX.d ) is T 1 T 1 T_(1)T_{1}T1 - separated (see the condition (i) and (ii)).
Since d ( x , y ) = 0 ⟺ x = y d ( x , y ) = 0 ⟺ x = y d(x,y)=0Longleftrightarrow x=yd(x, y)=0 \Longleftrightarrow x=yd(x,y)=0⟺x=y, it follows that f ( x ) ≤ f ( y ) f ( x ) ≤ f ( y ) f(x) <= f(y)f(x) \leq f(y)f(x)≤f(y) for any function f : X → R f : X → R f:X rarrRf: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}f:X→R i.e. any real - valued function on a quasi - metric space X X XXX is ≤ d ≤ d <= _(d)\leq_{d}≤d - increasing.
Theorem 1 Let f : X → R f : X → R f:X rarrRf: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}f:X→R be such that
(4) ‖ f ‖ d = sup { ( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) : x , y ∈ X , d ( x , y ) > 0 } < ∞ (4) ‖ f ‖ d = sup ( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) : x , y ∈ X , d ( x , y ) > 0 < ∞ {:(4)||f||_(d)=s u p{((f(x)-f(y))vv0)/(d(x,y)):x,y in X,d(x,y) > 0} < oo:}\begin{equation*} \|f\|_{d}=\sup \left\{\frac{(f(x)-f(y)) \vee 0}{d(x, y)}: x, y \in X, d(x, y)>0\right\}<\infty \tag{4} \end{equation*}(4)‖f‖d=sup{(f(x)−f(y))∨0d(x,y):x,y∈X,d(x,y)>0}<∞
Then f f fff satisfies the inequality
(5) f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d ( x , y ) , ∀ x , y ∈ X (5) f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d ( x , y ) , ∀ x , y ∈ X {:(5)f(x)-f(y) <= ||f||_(d)*d(x","y)","AA x","y in X:}\begin{equation*} f(x)-f(y) \leq\|f\|_{d} \cdot d(x, y), \forall x, y \in X \tag{5} \end{equation*}(5)f(x)−f(y)≤‖f‖d⋅d(x,y),∀x,y∈X
and ‖ f ‖ d ‖ f ‖ d ||f||_(d)\|f\|_{d}‖f‖d is the smallest constant for which the inequality (3) holds.
P roof. nce f f fff is ≤ d ≤ d <= _(d)\leq_{d}≤d - increasing (see (3a)) it follows that f ( x ) − f ( y ) > 0 f ( x ) − f ( y ) > 0 f(x)-f(y) > 0f(x)-f(y)>0f(x)−f(y)>0 implies d ( x , y ) > 0 d ( x , y ) > 0 d(x,y) > 0d(x, y)>0d(x,y)>0. But then
f ( x ) − f ( y ) d ( x , y ) > 0 and ‖ f ‖ d = sup d ( x , y ) > 0 ( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) ≥ f ( x ) − f ( y d ( x , y ) f ( x ) − f ( y ) d ( x , y ) > 0  and  ‖ f ‖ d = sup d ( x , y ) > 0   ( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) ≥ f ( x ) − f ( y d ( x , y ) (f(x)-f(y))/(d(x,y)) > 0" and "||f||_(d)=s u p_(d(x,y) > 0)((f(x)-f(y))vv0)/(d(x,y)) >= (f(x)-f(y)/(d(x,y))\frac{f(x)-f(y)}{d(x, y)}>0 \text { and }\|f\|_{d}=\sup _{d(x, y)>0} \frac{(f(x)-f(y)) \vee 0}{d(x, y)} \geq \frac{f(x)-f(y}{d(x, y)}f(x)−f(y)d(x,y)>0 and ‖f‖d=supd(x,y)>0(f(x)−f(y))∨0d(x,y)≥f(x)−f(yd(x,y)
implying
f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d ( x , y ) . f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d ( x , y ) . f(x)-f(y) <= ||f||_(d)*d(x,y).f(x)-f(y) \leq\|f\|_{d} \cdot d(x, y) .f(x)−f(y)≤‖f‖d⋅d(x,y).
If f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ 0 f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ 0 f(x)-f(y) <= 0f(x)-f(y) \leq 0f(x)−f(y)≤0 then
( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) = 0 ( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) = 0 ((f(x)-f(y))vv0)/(d(x,y))=0\frac{(f(x)-f(y)) \vee 0}{d(x, y)}=0(f(x)−f(y))∨0d(x,y)=0
implying f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d ( x , y ) f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d ( x , y ) f(x)-f(y) <= ||f||_(d)*d(x,y)f(x)-f(y) \leq\|f\|_{d} \cdot d(x, y)f(x)−f(y)≤‖f‖d⋅d(x,y).
Let now K ≥ 0 K ≥ 0 K >= 0K \geq 0K≥0 be such that
f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ K ⋅ d ( x , y ) f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ K ⋅ d ( x , y ) f(x)-f(y) <= K*d(x,y)f(x)-f(y) \leq K \cdot d(x, y)f(x)−f(y)≤K⋅d(x,y)
for all x , y ∈ X x , y ∈ X x,y in Xx, y \in Xx,y∈X. Then f f fff is ≤ d ≤ d <= _(d)\leq_{d}≤d - increasing and
( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) = f ( x ) − f ( y ) d ( x , y ) ≤ K if f ( x ) − f ( y ) > 0 ( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) = f ( x ) − f ( y ) d ( x , y ) ≤ K  if  f ( x ) − f ( y ) > 0 ((f(x)-f(y))vv0)/(d(x,y))=(f(x)-f(y))/(d(x,y)) <= K quad" if "quad f(x)-f(y) > 0\frac{(f(x)-f(y)) \vee 0}{d(x, y)}=\frac{f(x)-f(y)}{d(x, y)} \leq K \quad \text { if } \quad f(x)-f(y)>0(f(x)−f(y))∨0d(x,y)=f(x)−f(y)d(x,y)≤K if f(x)−f(y)>0
and
( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) = 0 ≤ K if f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ 0 . ( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) = 0 ≤ K  if  f ( x ) − f ( y ) ≤ 0 . ((f(x)-f(y))vv0)/(d(x,y))=0 <= K quad" if "quad f(x)-f(y) <= 0.\frac{(f(x)-f(y)) \vee 0}{d(x, y)}=0 \leq K \quad \text { if } \quad f(x)-f(y) \leq 0 .(f(x)−f(y))∨0d(x,y)=0≤K if f(x)−f(y)≤0.
Consequently, ‖ f ‖ d ≤ K ‖ f ‖ d ≤ K ||f||_(d) <= K\|f\|_{d} \leq K‖f‖d≤K.
Denoting by SLip X X XXX the set of all real - valued semi - Lipschitz functions defined on a quasi - metric space ( X , d X , d X,dX, dX,d ) we have
(6) SLip X = { f : X → R , sup d ( x , y ) > 0 ( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) < ∞ } (6)  SLip  X = f : X → R , sup d ( x , y ) > 0   ( f ( x ) − f ( y ) ) ∨ 0 d ( x , y ) < ∞ {:(6)" SLip "X={f:X rarrR,s u p_(d(x,y) > 0)((f(x)-f(y))vv0)/(d(x,y)) < oo}:}\begin{equation*} \text { SLip } X=\left\{f: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, \sup _{d(x, y)>0} \frac{(f(x)-f(y)) \vee 0}{d(x, y)}<\infty\right\} \tag{6} \end{equation*}(6) SLip X={f:X→R,supd(x,y)>0(f(x)−f(y))∨0d(x,y)<∞}
Let Y ⊂ X , Y ≠ ∅ Y ⊂ X , Y ≠ ∅ Y sub X,Y!=O/Y \subset X, Y \neq \emptysetY⊂X,Y≠∅, where ( X , d ) ( X , d ) (X,d)(X, d)(X,d) is a quasi - metric space. It follows that ( Y , d Y , d Y,dY, dY,d ) is a quasi - metric space, too, and let's denote by SLip Y Y YYY the set of all semi - Lipschitz functions on Y Y YYY.
The following extension problem arises naturally: for f ∈ S L i p Y f ∈ S L i p Y f in SLipYf \in S L i p Yf∈SLipY find F ∈ F ∈ F inF \inF∈ SLip X X XXX such that
(7) F | Y = f and ‖ F ‖ d = ‖ f ‖ d (7) F Y = f  and  ‖ F ‖ d = ‖ f ‖ d {:(7)F|_(Y)=f" and "||F||_(d)=||f||_(d):}\begin{equation*} \left.F\right|_{Y}=f \text { and }\|F\|_{d}=\|f\|_{d} \tag{7} \end{equation*}(7)F|Y=f and ‖F‖d=‖f‖d
The answer is affirmative. In [5] it was shown that the functions
(8) F ( x ) = inf y ∈ Y [ f ( y ) + ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d ( x , y ) ] , x ∈ X (8) F ( x ) = inf y ∈ Y   f ( y ) + ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d ( x , y ) , x ∈ X {:(8)F(x)=i n f_(y in Y)[f(y)+||f||_(d)*d(x,y)]","x in X:}\begin{equation*} F(x)=\inf _{y \in Y}\left[f(y)+\|f\|_{d} \cdot d(x, y)\right], x \in X \tag{8} \end{equation*}(8)F(x)=infy∈Y[f(y)+‖f‖d⋅d(x,y)],x∈X
(9) G ( x ) = sup y ∈ Y [ f ( y ) − ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d − 1 ( x , y ) ] , x ∈ X (9) G ( x ) = sup y ∈ Y   f ( y ) − ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d − 1 ( x , y ) , x ∈ X {:(9)G(x)=s u p_(y in Y)[f(y)-||f||_(d)*d^(-1)(x,y)]","x in X:}\begin{equation*} G(x)=\sup _{y \in Y}\left[f(y)-\|f\|_{d} \cdot d^{-1}(x, y)\right], x \in X \tag{9} \end{equation*}(9)G(x)=supy∈Y[f(y)−‖f‖d⋅d−1(x,y)],x∈X
satisfy the equalities
F | Y = G | Y = f and ‖ F ‖ d = ‖ G ‖ d = ‖ f ‖ d . F Y = G Y = f  and  ‖ F ‖ d = ‖ G ‖ d = ‖ f ‖ d . F|_(Y)=G|_(Y)=f quad" and "quad||F||_(d)=||G||_(d)=||f||_(d).\left.F\right|_{Y}=\left.G\right|_{Y}=f \quad \text { and } \quad\|F\|_{d}=\|G\|_{d}=\|f\|_{d} .F|Y=G|Y=f and ‖F‖d=‖G‖d=‖f‖d.
In other words, for any f ∈ S L i p Y f ∈ S L i p Y f in SLipYf \in S L i p Yf∈SLipY the set
(10) E Y d ( f ) := { H ∈ S Lip X : H | Y = f and ‖ H ‖ d = ‖ f ‖ d } (10) E Y d ( f ) := H ∈ S Lip X : H Y = f  and  ‖ H ‖ d = ‖ f ‖ d {:(10)E_(Y)^(d)(f):={H in S Lip X:H|_(Y)=f quad" and "quad||H||_(d)=||f||_(d)}:}\begin{equation*} E_{Y}^{d}(f):=\left\{H \in S \operatorname{Lip} X:\left.H\right|_{Y}=f \quad \text { and } \quad\|H\|_{d}=\|f\|_{d}\right\} \tag{10} \end{equation*}(10)EYd(f):={H∈SLipX:H|Y=f and ‖H‖d=‖f‖d}
of all extensions of f f fff which preserve the smallest Lipschitz constant is nonvoid.
Concerning the unicity of the extension ( card E Y d ( f ) = 1 card E Y d ( f ) = 1 cardE_(Y)^(d)(f)=1\operatorname{card} E_{Y}^{d}(f)=1cardEYd(f)=1 ) one can prove:
Theorem 2 Let ( X , d ) ( X , d ) (X,d)(X, d)(X,d) be a quasi-metric space, Y ⊂ X Y ⊂ X Y sub XY \subset XY⊂X and f ∈ S L i p Y f ∈ S L i p Y f in SLipYf \in S L i p Yf∈SLipY. Then
a) For every H ∈ E Y d ( f ) H ∈ E Y d ( f ) H inE_(Y)^(d)(f)H \in E_{Y}^{d}(f)H∈EYd(f) the following inequalities hold:
(11) G ( x ) ≤ H ( x ) ≤ F ( x ) , x ∈ X (11) G ( x ) ≤ H ( x ) ≤ F ( x ) , x ∈ X {:(11)G(x) <= H(x) <= F(x)","quad x in X:}\begin{equation*} G(x) \leq H(x) \leq F(x), \quad x \in X \tag{11} \end{equation*}(11)G(x)≤H(x)≤F(x),x∈X
where the functions F , G F , G F,GF, GF,G are defined by (8), (9);
b) card E Y d ( f ) = 1 E Y d ( f ) = 1 E_(Y)^(d)(f)=1E_{Y}^{d}(f)=1EYd(f)=1 if and only if
(12) sup y ∈ Y [ f ( y ) − ‖ f ‖ d d − 1 ( x , y ) ] = inf y ∈ Y [ f ( y ) + ‖ f ‖ d d ( x , y ) ] (12) sup y ∈ Y   f ( y ) − ‖ f ‖ d d − 1 ( x , y ) = inf y ∈ Y   f ( y ) + ‖ f ‖ d d ( x , y ) {:(12)s u p_(y in Y)[f(y)-||f||_(d)d^(-1)(x,y)]=i n f_(y in Y)[f(y)+||f||_(d)d(x,y)]:}\begin{equation*} \sup _{y \in Y}\left[f(y)-\|f\|_{d} d^{-1}(x, y)\right]=\inf _{y \in Y}\left[f(y)+\|f\|_{d} d(x, y)\right] \tag{12} \end{equation*}(12)supy∈Y[f(y)−‖f‖dd−1(x,y)]=infy∈Y[f(y)+‖f‖dd(x,y)]
for all x ∈ X x ∈ X x in Xx \in Xx∈X.
P roof. t H ∈ E Y d ( f ) H ∈ E Y d ( f ) H inE_(Y)^(d)(f)H \in E_{Y}^{d}(f)H∈EYd(f). Then we have for every x ∈ X x ∈ X x in Xx \in Xx∈X and y ∈ Y y ∈ Y y in Yy \in Yy∈Y :
H ( x ) − H ( y ) ≤ ‖ f ‖ d d ( x , y ) H ( y ) − H ( x ) ≤ ‖ f ‖ d d ( y , x ) = ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d − 1 ( x , y ) . H ( x ) − H ( y ) ≤ ‖ f ‖ d d ( x , y ) H ( y ) − H ( x ) ≤ ‖ f ‖ d d ( y , x ) = ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d − 1 ( x , y ) . {:[H(x)-H(y) <= ||f||_(d)d(x","y)],[H(y)-H(x) <= ||f||_(d)d(y","x)=||f||_(d)*d^(-1)(x","y).]:}\begin{aligned} & H(x)-H(y) \leq\|f\|_{d} d(x, y) \\ & H(y)-H(x) \leq\|f\|_{d} d(y, x)=\|f\|_{d} \cdot d^{-1}(x, y) . \end{aligned}H(x)−H(y)≤‖f‖dd(x,y)H(y)−H(x)≤‖f‖dd(y,x)=‖f‖d⋅d−1(x,y).
The first inequality implies
H ( x ) ≤ H ( y ) + ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d ( x , y ) = f ( y ) + ‖ f ‖ d d ( x , y ) H ( x ) ≤ H ( y ) + ‖ f ‖ d ⋅ d ( x , y ) = f ( y ) + ‖ f ‖ d d ( x , y ) H(x) <= H(y)+||f||_(d)*d(x,y)=f(y)+||f||_(d)d(x,y)H(x) \leq H(y)+\|f\|_{d} \cdot d(x, y)=f(y)+\|f\|_{d} d(x, y)H(x)≤H(y)+‖f‖d⋅d(x,y)=f(y)+‖f‖dd(x,y)
and, taking the infimum with respect to y ∈ Y y ∈ Y y in Yy \in Yy∈Y, we have
H ( x ) ≤ F ( x ) , x ∈ X . H ( x ) ≤ F ( x ) , x ∈ X . H(x) <= F(x),quad x in X.H(x) \leq F(x), \quad x \in X .H(x)≤F(x),x∈X.
Similarly, we get
H ( x ) ≥ H ( y ) − ‖ f ‖ d d − 1 ( x , y ) = f ( y ) − ‖ f ‖ d d − 1 ( x , y ) . H ( x ) ≥ H ( y ) − ‖ f ‖ d d − 1 ( x , y ) = f ( y ) − ‖ f ‖ d d − 1 ( x , y ) . H(x) >= H(y)-||f||_(d)d^(-1)(x,y)=f(y)-||f||_(d)d^(-1)(x,y).H(x) \geq H(y)-\|f\|_{d} d^{-1}(x, y)=f(y)-\|f\|_{d} d^{-1}(x, y) .H(x)≥H(y)−‖f‖dd−1(x,y)=f(y)−‖f‖dd−1(x,y).
Taking the supremum with respect to y ∈ Y y ∈ Y y in Yy \in Yy∈Y one obtains
H ( x ) ≥ G ( x ) , x ∈ X . H ( x ) ≥ G ( x ) , x ∈ X . H(x) >= G(x),quad x in X.H(x) \geq G(x), \quad x \in X .H(x)≥G(x),x∈X.
The assertion b) is a direct consequence of the inequalities (11).
Remark. 1 0 1 0 1^(0)1^{0}10. If the function f : X → R f : X → R f:X rarrRf: X \rightarrow \mathbb{R}f:X→R is constant on X X XXX then ‖ f ‖ d = 0 ‖ f ‖ d = 0 ||f||_(d)=0\|f\|_{d}=0‖f‖d=0, and the equality (12) holds.
