The Whitney extension problem for Zygmund spaces and Lipschitz selections in hyperbolic jet-spaces
Abstract
Description
We study a variant of the Whitney extension problem for the space $C^kΛ^m_ω(R^n)$ of functions whose partial derivatives of order $k$ satisfy the generalized Zygmund condition. We identify $C^kΛ^m_ω(R^n)$ with a space of Lipschitz mappings from a metric space $(R^{n+1}_+,ρ_ω)$ supplied with a hyperbolic metric $ρ_ω$ into a metric space $({\cal P}_{k+m-1}\times R^{n+1}_+, d_ω)$ of polynomial fields on $R^{n+1}_+$ equipped with a hyperbolic-type metric $d_ω$. This identification allows us to reformulate the Whitney problem for $C^kΛ^m_ω(R^n)$ as a Lipschitz selection problem for set-valued mappings from $(R^{n+1}_+,ρ_ω)$ into a certain family of subsets of ${\cal P}_{k+m-1}\times R^{n+1}_+$.
