On singular extensions of continuous functionals from C([0,1]) to variable Lebesgue spaces

Abstract: Valadier and Hensgen proved independently that the restriction of functional $\phi(x)=\int_{0}^{1}x(t)dt,\,\,x\in L^{\infty}([0,1])$ on the space of continuous functions $C([0,1])$ admits a singular extension back to the whole space $L^{\infty}([0,1]).$ Some general results in this direction for the Banach lattices were obtained by Abramovich and Wickstead. In present note we investigate analogous problem for variable exponent Lebesgue spaces, namely we prove that if the space of continuous functions $C([0,1])$ is closed subspace in $L^{p(\cdot)}([0,1]),$ then every bounded linear functional on $C([0,1])$ is the restriction of a singular linear functional on $L^{p(\cdot)}([0,1])$.
