The dual-evaluation model of the relative Banach envelope #
The paper describes the relative Lipschitz-free envelope as a quotient of an
ℓ₁-sum. For the metric estimates it is equivalent, and technically more
direct, to use its dual unit ball as the coordinates of an ℓ∞ space.
An admissible functional consists of a norm-at-most-one linear functional on the old normed space together with a one-Lipschitz extension to the attached metric space. Evaluation at all such functionals gives the relative coordinate. This file establishes the boundedness and nonexpansiveness of that coordinate. McShane extension and Hahn--Banach then supply enough admissible functionals to prove that the induced linear copy of the old space is isometric.

Instances For
Evaluation on all admissible relative functionals, normalized at j 0.
Equations
- ScottishBook155.relativeEvaluation j p = ⟨fun (φ : ScottishBook155.RelativeFunctional P N j) => φ.value p - φ.value (j 0), ⋯⟩
Instances For
The relative evaluation coordinate is nonexpansive.
On a distinguished old-space point, evaluation is exactly the underlying linear functional.
The distinguished old space maps linearly into the relative coordinate.

Instances For
Every admissible functional has norm at most one, so the linear copy of the old space is contractive.
A contractive linear functional on the old space admits an admissible one-Lipschitz extension whenever the distinguished map is an isometry. This is the McShane extension step in the dual model.
Hahn--Banach and McShane supply a coordinate attaining the norm of every old-space vector.
Under an isometric distinguished map, the old space has exactly its original norm in the relative coordinate.
The old Banach space embeds linearly and isometrically into the dual evaluation model of the relative envelope.

Instances For
Extend a prescribed one-Lipschitz seed which already agrees with a contractive old-space functional on every distinguished target point. This is the reusable McShane interface for the two short-distance cases.
A single admissible functional attaining the ambient distance gives the reverse norm inequality, hence exact distance preservation by evaluation.
A one-Lipschitz seed on a subset, agreeing with a contractive old-space functional and attaining the distance of two points in that subset, certifies that the relative coordinate preserves that pair's distance.

Instances For
First short-distance case from the relative-envelope proof: if the direct distance is at most the sum of the distances to the old target, a functional vanishing on the old target attains that distance.
The algebraic data for the collar case jointly attain the sum of the horizontal norm difference and the vertical absolute difference.
Compatible values on the old target and two selected points extend to an
admissible relative functional. The proof uses a possibly noninjective map
from N ⊕ Bool; metric compatibility forces the prescribed values to agree
at every collision.
In the protected collar, the algebraic endpoint data and the exact source--target formula produce an admissible functional attaining the distance of a short source pair.
The two cases combine to show that the relative evaluation coordinate preserves every protected short source distance.
