Tietze Extension Theorem
In topology, the Tietze extension theorem (also known as the Tietze– Urysohn– Brouwer extension theorem or Urysohn-Brouwer lemma) states that any real-valued, continuous function on a closed subset of a normal topological space In mathematics, a topological space is, roughly speaking, a Geometry, geometrical space in which Closeness (mathematics), closeness is defined but cannot necessarily be measured by a numeric Distance (mathematics), distance. More specifically, a to ... can be extended to the entire space, preserving boundedness if necessary. Formal statement If X is a normal space and f : A \to \R is a continuous map from a closed subset A of X into the real numbers \R carrying the standard topology, then there exists a of f to X; that is, there exists a map F : X \to \R continuous on all of X with F(a) = f(a) for all a \in A. Moreover, F may be chosen such that \sup \ ~=~ \sup \, that is, if f is bounded then F may be chosen to be bounded (with the same bo ...

Urysohn
Pavel Samuilovich Urysohn (in Russian language, Russian: ; 3 February, 1898 – 17 August, 1924) was a Soviet Union, Soviet mathematician who is best known for his contributions in Dimension theory (algebra), dimension theory, and for developing Urysohn's metrization theorem and Urysohn's lemma, both of which are fundamental results in topology. He also constructed what is now called the Urysohn universal space and his name is also commemorated in the terms Fréchet–Urysohn space, Menger–Urysohn dimension and Urysohn integral equation. He and Pavel Alexandrov formulated the modern definition of Compact space, compactness in 1923. Biography Pavel Urysohn was born in Odesa, Odesa in 1898. His mother died when he was little, and he entered the care of his father and sister. The family moved to Moscow in 1912, where Urysohn completed his secondary education. While still at school, he worked at Shanyavsky Moscow City People's University, Shanyavsky University on an experimental p ...
