Extension of Functions and Interpolation of Data (Colloquio de Giorgi)

speaker: Charles Fefferman (Princeton University)

abstract: How can we tell whether a given real-valued function f on an arbitrary given subset of Rⁿ extends to a C^m function F on the whole R^n? If F exists, how small can we take its C^m norm? What can we say about the derivatives of F at a given point? Can we make F depend linearly on f? Suppose f is defined only on a finite set. How can we compute an extension F with close-to-minimal norm? How many computer operations does it take? What if F is required merely to agree approximately with f? What if we are allowed to discard a few of the points of E? What about function spaces other than C^m? Many of the results discussed are joint work with Bo'az Klartag.
