Proof.

Since piecewise ℚ{\mathbb{Q}}-linear functions are dense in the compact case [Gub98, Theorem 7.12], there exists a piecewise ℚ{\mathbb{Q}}-linear function g:W→ℝg\colon W\to{\mathbb{R}} such that f−ε≤g≤ff-\varepsilon\leq g\leq f on WW. Since WW is compact, there is a non-zero k∈ℕk\in{\mathbb{N}} such that k​gkg is piecewise linear. By Proposition 2.6 and Proposition 2.8 applied to the formal metric on 𝒪V{\mathcal{O}}_{V} associated to k​gkg, there exists a piecewise ℚ{\mathbb{Q}}-linear function ψ:V→ℝ\psi\colon V\to{\mathbb{R}} which extends gg. We then set φ≔max⁡(ψ,0)\varphi\coloneqq\max(\psi,0). By Proposition 2.10 (d), φ\varphi is piecewise ℚ{\mathbb{Q}}-linear. By definition, we have φ≥0\varphi\geq 0. We have ψ≤f\psi\leq f on WW and ff is non-negative, hence we have φ≤f\varphi\leq f on WW. Finally, since f−ε≤ψf-\varepsilon\leq\psi on WW we also have that f−ε≤max⁡(ψ,0)=φf-\varepsilon\leq\max(\psi,0)=\varphi on WW. ∎
