Abstract

It is known that if K is a compact subset of the (separable complete) metric Urysohn space ( ${\mathbb U}$ , d) and f is a Katětov function on the subspace K of ( ${\mathbb U}$ , d), then there is z ∈ ${\mathbb U}$ such that d(z, x) = f(x) for all x ∈ K.

Answering a question of Normann, we show in this article that the supseparable bicomplete q-universal ultrahomogeneous T 0-quasi-metric space (q ${\mathbb U}$ , D) recently discussed by the authors satisfies a similar property for Katětov function pairs on subsets that are compact in the associated metric space (q ${\mathbb U}$ , Ds ).
