We introduce Birkhoff-James extensions of continuous functions and study them in detail, in the separate contexts of compact and non-compact metric spaces. We conclude by discussing an application of our ideas to the study of Birkhoff-James orthogonality in $C(X)$ with the supremum norm, where $X$ is a compact metric space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-28T05:13:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "26A51", "54E45", "46B20" ], "keywords": [ "continuous functions", "birkhoff-james extensions", "investigations regarding birkhoff-james orthogonality", "non-compact metric spaces", "supremum norm" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
