  Abstract:   In order to show that the Lipschitz constant for the extension of a complex-valued Lipschitz function cannot generally be 1, one can use the following example (see Lipschitz Algebras, by N. Weaver, World Scientific, Singapore, 1999, p. 18, Example 1.5.7): Let X = {e, p1, p2, p3} be a metric space such that d(pi, pj) = 1, for all distinct and  for all and let X0 = {p1, p2, p3} be a subset of X. An isometric map of X0 into can be extended to X with an increase in the Lipschitz constant of at least  this constant being attained for the function that takes e to the circumcenter of the triangle formed by the points f(pi), for all The purpose of this article is to show that we can loosen somewhat the conditions imposed on d, namely we show that considering a metric space X = {e, p1, p2, p3} such that for all distinct the above increase in the Lipschitz constant for the extended Lipschitz function is preserved.
