Lipschitz Extension of a Real Function from a Subset of a Metric Space

A real function that is Lipschitz with constant L on a nonempty subset of a metric space extends to the whole space with the same constant.

Statement

In the setting of Separable Real Normed Spaces and Hahn–Banach: Notation, let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space and let D⊆XD\subseteq X be nonempty.

Lipschitz extension. Let L≥0L\ge0 be a real number and let f:D→Rf:D\to\mathbb{R} be a function with

∣f(u)−f(v)∣≤L d(u,v)for all u,v∈D.|f(u)-f(v)|\le L\,d(u,v)\qquad\text{for all }u,v\in D.

Then there is a function F:X→RF:X\to\mathbb{R} with F(u)=f(u)F(u)=f(u) for every u∈Du\in D and

∣F(x)−F(y)∣≤L d(x,y)for all x,y∈X.|F(x)-F(y)|\le L\,d(x,y)\qquad\text{for all }x,y\in X.
