On extension of isometries in (F)-spaces

An (F)-spaceE is said to be locally midpoint constricted (in short, Imp-constricted) if there exists some>0 such thatD(A/2) <D(A) for every subsetA ofE with 0<D(A), whereD(A) denotes the diameter ofA. Our main result goes as follow: LetE be an Imp-constricted (F)-space andU an open connected subset ofE. Assume thatT:U F is an isometry (i.e., a distance-preserving map) which mapsU onto an open subset of the (F)-spaceF. ThenT can be extended to an affine homeomorphism fromE toF. Also, some other results about the question whether each isometry between two (F)-spaces is affine are obtained.
