Power-aggregation of pseudometrics and the McShane-Whitney extension theorem for Lipschitz p-convace maps

Abstract

[EN] Given a countable set of families {Dk:k¿N} of pseudometrics over the same set D, we study the power-aggregations of this class, that are defined as convex combinations of integral averages of powers of the elements of ¿kDk. We prove that a Lipschitz function f is dominated by such a power-aggregation if and only if a certain property of super-additivity involving the powers of the elements of ¿kDk is fulfilled by f. In particular, we show that a pseudo-metric is equivalent to a power-aggregation of other pseudometrics if this kind of domination holds. When the super-additivity property involves a p-power domination, we say that the elements of Dk are p-concave. As an application of our results, we prove under this requirement a new extension result of McShane-Whitney type for Lipschitz p-concave real valued maps.Both authors gratefully acknowledge the support of the Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Agencia Estatal de Investigaciones and FEDER under each grants MTM2015-64373-P (MINECO/FEDER, UE) and MTM2016-77054-C2-1-P.Rodríguez López, J.; Sánchez Pérez, EA.
