This property deals with the possibility to make a uniformly simultaneous approximation of a Lipschitz map $F$ and a pair of points at which $F$ almost attains its norm by a Lipschitz map $G$ and a pair of points such that $G$ strongly attains its norm at the new pair of points. We first show that if $M$ is a finite pointed metric space and $Y$ is a finite-dimensional Banach space, then the pair $(M,Y)$ has the Lip-BPB property, and that both finiteness are needed. Next, we show that if $M$ is a uniformly Gromov concave pointed metric space (i.e.\\ the molecules of $M$ form a set of uniformly strongly exposed points), then $(M,Y)$ has the Lip-BPB property for every Banach space $Y$. We further prove that this is the case of finite concave metric spaces, ultrametric spaces, and H\\\"older metric spaces. The extension of the Lip-BPB property from $(M,\\mathbb{R})$ to some Banach spaces $Y$, the relationship with absolute sums, and some results only valid for compact Lipschitz maps, are also discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-01-09T22:31:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46B04", "46B20", "26A16", "54E50" ], "keywords": [ "lip-bpb property", "bishop-phelps-bollobás property", "banach space", "gromov concave pointed metric space", "finite concave metric spaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
