Abstract
The present review paper provides recent results on convexity and its applications to the constrained extension of linear operators, motivated by the existence of subgradients of continuous convex operators, the Markov moment problem and related Markov operators, approximation using the Krein–Milman theorem, related optimization, and polynomial approximation on unbounded subsets. In many cases, the Mazur–Orlicz theorem also leads to Markov operators as solutions. The common point of all these results is the Hahn–Banach theorem and its consequences, supplied by specific results in polynomial approximation. All these theorems or their proofs essentially involve the notion of convexity.
