# Affine extensions of functions with a closed graph

Marek Wójtowicz
Waldemar Sieg

Abstract. Let $$A$$ be a closed $$G_{\delta}$$-subset of a normal space $$X$$. We prove that every function $$f_0: A\to\mathbb{R}$$ with a closed graph can be extended to a function $$f: X\to\mathbb{R}$$ with a closed graph, too. This is a consequence of a more general result which gives an affine and constructive method of obtaining such extensions.

Keywords: real-valued functions with a closed graph, points of discontinuity, affine extensions of functions.
