A general theorem of existence of quasi absolutely minimal Lipschitz extensions

In this paper we consider a wide class of generalized Lipschitz extension problems and the corresponding problem of finding absolutely minimal Lipschitz extensions. We prove that if a minimal Lipschitz extension exists, then under certain other mild conditions, a quasi absolutely minimal Lipschitz extension must exist as well. Here we use the qualifier "quasi" to indicate that the extending function in question nearly satisfies the conditions of being an absolutely minimal Lipschitz extension, up to several factors that can be made arbitrarily small.
