The radial extension is 3-Lipschitz

MathlibAnnex.Sphere.lipschitzWith_radialExtension

theorem

Separates radial variation from the change of unit direction to obtain the global bound with coefficient 1 + 2.

Statement

For real normed spaces and a bijective chord-metric isometry , define and for . Here and are the unit spheres. Then for every ,

Assumptions

The sphere distances are inherited from the ambient norms. The map is a bijective isometry, so it preserves these chord distances and sends unit vectors to unit vectors. No completeness, finite-dimensionality or nontriviality assumption is made.

Conclusion

The forward radial map is globally -Lipschitz. Applying the same theorem to gives the separately stated -Lipschitz bound for . Together with the inverse identities, this makes the radial bijection a homeomorphism with Lipschitz inverse.

The constant is a proved upper bound. This statement makes no optimality assertion and supplies no ambient distance-preserving or linear-extension conclusion. Both directions of the homeomorphism use the same radial maps as in the definitions.

Proof route

First assume , and put , . Split the difference at the smaller radius:

The first direction has norm one and preserves chord distances. Hence

The first bound is the reverse triangle inequality. The second uses the angular lemma with its three hypotheses , and . The following calculation gives its coefficient .

Proof steps
  1. Set . The assumed order and positivity imply and . Scaling the normalized difference gives

    Consequently .

  2. The first summand satisfies . For the second,

    The triangle inequality now yields , which is the required angular bound.

  3. Insert this angular bound into the displayed radial decomposition. If the norm order is reversed, interchange and use the symmetry of and of the image distance. If one vector is zero, norm preservation gives the sharper equality , so the bound by follows; the two-zero case is immediate.
