Explicit formulas for C^(1,1) Glaeser-Whitney extensions of 1-fields in Hilbert spaces

We give a simple alternative proof for the $C^{1,1}$--convex extension problem which has been introduced and studied by D. Azagra and C. Mudarra [2]. As an application, we obtain an easy constructive proof for the Glaeser-Whitney problem of $C^{1,1}$ extensions on a Hilbert space. In both cases we provide explicit formulae for the extensions. For the Gleaser-Whitney problem the obtained extension is almost minimal, that is, minimal up to a factor $\frac{1+\sqrt{3}}{2}$ in the sense of Le Gruyer [15].
