    Abstract
    A restricted version of the Tietze Theorem is that a continuous mapping of a closed subspace of a metric space ranging in a closed interval may be extended to a continuous function defined upon the whole metric space. This may be viewed as a property of the closed interval and is expressed by saying that the interval is an absolute extensor. Thus, absolute extensors may be viewed as a generalisation of real intervals, and many of the desirable properties of intervals have been generalised to the class of absolute extensors. In 1951, Dugundji showed that every convex subset of a locally convex linear topological space is an absolute extensor, thus dramatically extending the Tietze theorem. In this thesis, a class of subsets of a normed linear space is defined. This new class of sets includes the convex sets and it is shown that these new sets are also absolute extensors.
