theorem

Extends agreement from a convex interior to all source points by continuity.

Statement

Let be real normed spaces and let be a bijective isometry between subsets. Assume is convex, its interior in is nonempty, and Then there is a unique surjective real affine isometry such that for every .

Assumptions

The stated interiors are ambient interiors, not relative interiors in affine spans. Convexity is assumed only for . Both directions of the displayed interior-membership equivalence are hypotheses for the given .

Conclusion

The unique ambient affine extension agrees on all of , including points outside its interior. No separate target convexity or completeness assumption is needed.

Proof route

Restrict the isometry to the two ambient interiors, use the open connected theorem, and extend equality from the dense interior inside the source set.

Proof steps
  1. For the forward implication puts in . If , let ; the reverse implication puts in . Thus The isometry restricted to ambient interiors gives a bijective isometry , with the original forward and inverse values.

  2. The source interior is convex and nonempty, hence connected, and both interiors are open. These verify every hypothesis of Open connected extension theorem for the restricted isometry. It yields a unique ambient affine isometry with on .

  3. Convexity and nonempty interior give . Concretely, choose and with . For and , the point satisfies by convexity, and as . Thus the interior points are dense in the subspace , the density step used in Extension through a dense convex interior.

  4. The two functions and are continuous. Their equality set is closed in , because is a metric space, and contains the dense interior subset. Hence for all . Any other extension restricts to an extension on the source interior; uniqueness from Step 2 makes it equal to .
