Introduction

Examining the various branches of functional analysis, it will be difficult to find a section in which extension problems of linear operators are completely absent. Usually, there are certain properties such as continuity, positivity, compactness, contractivity, or commutativity with given operators that have to be preserved in connection with the extension of the linear operator in question. For linear functionals, extension problems can often be satisfactorily settled using the Hahn­Banach theorem and its various consequences. Extending linear operators, however, turns out to be a troublesome enterprise. Analysing the proofs of the known extension theorems for linear mappings we corne up with two principal arguments: 1) Continuous linear operators defined on dense subspaces possess a continuous linear extension to the whole space. 2)

If H is a linear subspace of an arbitrary real vector space E and F is a Dedekind complete vector lattice, then a linear operator T : H

vector­valued version of the Hahn­Banach theorem). It is not intended to offer a survey of the numerous results based on these two theorems. On the other hand, it soon becomes evident that the majority of the extension problems fo
