Smooth approximations preserving asymptotic Lipschitz bounds. arXiv:2409.01772

Preprint, arXiv:2409.01772 [math.FA] (2024).
Summary: The goal of this note is to prove that every real-valued Lipschitz function on a Banach space can be pointwise approximated on a given \(\sigma\)-compact set by smooth cylindrical functions whose asymptotic Lipschitz constants are controlled. This result has applications in the study of metric Sobolev and BV spaces: it implies that smooth cylindrical functions are dense in energy in these kinds of functional spaces defined over any weighted Banach space.
