Mathematics Asked by user856180 on December 28, 2020
Let (M,d) be a metric space, and M1, M2 be two subspace of M.
Edit: I forgot to mension that both M1 and M2 are dense.
Suppose we have
$f: M rightarrow M$
and we know f is an isometric mapping from M1 to M1, i.e.,
$$
d(f(a),f(b))=d(a,b)
$$
for any $a,b in M1$.
Suppose we also have
$$
d(f(a),f(b))=d(a,b)
$$
for any $a in M1$ and $b in M2$.
The question is : can we say that f is an isometric mapping of $M1cup M2$?
In other words, is it possible to show that
$$
d(f(a),f(b))=d(a,b)
$$
for any $a,b in M1cup M2$.
I think it is true in Euclidean space, but I have no idea how to do it in a general metric space.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
$M_1={a}$, $M_2={b,c}$, $f(a)=a, f(b)=f(c)=b$, $d(x,y)=1$ if $xneq y.$
