Abstract

For any subset ERnE \subset \mathbb{R}^n, let Cm(E)C^m (E) denote the Banach space of restrictions to EE of functions FCm(Rn)F \in C^m (\mathbb{R}^n). It is known that there exist bounded linear maps T:Cm(E)Cm(Rn)T:C^m(E)\longrightarrow C^m(\mathbb{R}^n) such that Tf=fTf = f on EE for any fCm(E)f \in C^m (E). We show that TT can be taken to have a simple form, but cannot be taken to have an even simpler form.
