Problem statement

Given ff with ∥f∥∞,W(A)=1\|f\|_{\infty,W(A)}=1, can we always find f~\tilde{f} defined on a ball DD enclosing W(A)W(A) such that f~≈f\tilde{f}\approx f on W(A)W(A) and ∥f~∥∞,D=1\|\tilde{f}\|_{\infty,D}=1?

Background

Section context

It may be good to have a list of tries that do not seem to succeed.

Progress & source assessment

Dated source record, inspected 2026-09-10. Current status has not been independently reassessed. Source-reported results have not been independently verified.

Status note in the source

Ideally, f~=fϕ\tilde{f}=f\phi for some function phiphi that is approximately equal to 11 on W(A)W(A) and well-behaving outside. If the above was true, then the conjecture should be clear.
