The following form of the Hahn-Banach theorem is proved: Let X be a linear space over the complex semifield E and let f: S → E be a linear functional defined on a subspace S of X. If p: XRΔ is a seminorm with the property that ∣f(s)∣ ≪ p(s) for all s in S, then f has a linear extension F to X with the property that ∣F(x)∣ ≪ p(x) for all x in X.
