Abstract

Let $E$ be an arbitrary subset of $ℝ^{n}$ (not necessarily bounded) and $f : E \to ℝ$ , $G : E \to ℝ^{n}$ be functions. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the $1$ -jet $(f, G)$ to have an extension $(F, \nabla F)$ with $F : ℝ^{n} \to ℝ$ convex and $C^{1}$ . Additionally, if $G$ is bounded we can take $F$ so that $Lip (F) ≲ ∥ G ∥_{\infty}$ . As an application we also solve a similar problem about finding convex hypersurfaces of class $C^{1}$ with prescribed normals at the points of an arbitrary subset of $ℝ^{n}$ .
