Abstract

Let A be a closed semialgebraic subset of euclidean space of codimension at least one, and containing the origin O as a non-isolated point. We prove that, for every real s 1 , there exists an algebraic set V which approximates A to order s at O . The special case s = 1 generalizes the result of the authors that every semialgebraic cone of codimension at least one is the tangent cone of an algebraic set.
