One-dimensional dominated extension of a real linear functional
ID: one-dimensional-dominated-extension-of-a-real-linear-functional
A real linear functional on a vector subspace, dominated by a sublinear function , can be extended across one new vector by setting . The displayed lower and upper bounds are compatible because . A value between them preserves domination for both signs of . Chain unions and Zorn's lemma then yield the full Hahn-Banach theorem.
