On the Hahn-Banach Extension Property

Abstract

In this paper, we consider real linear spaces. By (V:‖ ‖) we mean a normed (real) linear space V with norm ‖ ‖. By the statement "V has the (Y, X) norm preserving (Hahn-Banach) extension property" we mean the following: Y is a subspace of the normed linear space X, V is a normed linear space, and any bounded linear function f: Y → V has a linear extension F: X → V such that ‖F‖ = ‖f‖. By the statement "V has the unrestricted norm preserving (Hahn-Banach) extension property" we mean that V has the (Y, X) norm preserving extension property for all Y and X with Y ⊂ X.
