Let (ₙ)ₙ be a quasianalytic differentiable system. Let m ∈ ℕ. We consider the following problem: let $f{\in }_m$ and f̂ be its Taylor series at $0\in {ℝ}^m$. Split the set ${\mathbb{N}}^m$ of exponents into two disjoint subsets A and B, ${\mathbb{N}}^m=A\cup B$, and decompose the formal series f̂ into the sum of two formal series G and H, supported by A and B, respectively. Do there exist $g,h{\in }_m$ with Taylor series at zero G and H, respectively? The main result of this paper is the following: if we have a positive answer to the above problem for some m ≥ 2, then...

We prove the o-minimal generalization of the Łojasiewicz inequality $\parallel \mathrm{grad}f\parallel \ge |f{|}^{\alpha }$, with $\alpha \<1$, in a neighborhood of $a$, where $f$ is real analytic at $a$ and $f\left(a\right)=0$. We deduce, as in the analytic case, that trajectories of the gradient of a function definable in an o-minimal structure are of uniformly bounded length. We obtain also that the gradient flow gives a retraction onto levels of such functions.

Si K es un compacto no vacío en Rr, damos una condición suficiente para que la inyección canónica de ε{M},b(K) en ε{M},d(K) sea nuclear. Consideramos el caso mixto y obtenemos la existencia de un operador de extensión nuclear de ε{M1}(F)A en ε{M2}(Rr)D donde F es un subconjunto cerrado propio de Rr y A y D son discos de Banach adecuados. Finalmente aplicamos este último resultado al caso Borel, es decir cuando F = {0}.

Let R be a real closed field, and denote by ${}_{R,n}$ the ring of germs, at the origin of Rⁿ, of $C^{\infty }$ functions in a neighborhood of 0 ∈ Rⁿ. For each n ∈ ℕ, we construct a quasianalytic subring ${}_{R,n}{\subset }_{R,n}$ with some natural properties. We prove that, for each n ∈ ℕ, ${}_{R,n}$ is a noetherian ring and if R = ℝ (the field of real numbers), then ${}_{ℝ,n}=ₙ$, where ₙ is the ring of germs, at the origin of ℝⁿ, of real analytic functions. Finally, we prove the Real Nullstellensatz and solve Hilbert’s 17th Problem for the ring ${}_{R,n}$.

We prove the existence of an effectively computable integer polynomial P(x,t₀,...,t₅) having the following property. Every continuous function $f:{ℝ}^s\to ℝ$ can be approximated with arbitrary accuracy by an infinite sum ${\sum }_{r=1}^{\infty }{H}_r(x₁,...,x_s)\in C^{\infty }\left({ℝ}^s\right)$ of analytic functions $H_r$, each solving the same system of universal partial differential equations, namely $P(x_{\sigma };H_r,\partial H_r/\partial x_{\sigma },...,\partial ⁵H_r/\partial x{⁵}_{\sigma }⁵)=0$ (σ = 1,..., s).

The purpose of this paper is to carry over to the o-minimal settings some results about the Euler characteristic of algebraic and analytic sets. Consider a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure on the field ℝ of reals. A ($C^{\infty }$) smooth definable function φ: U → ℝ on an open set U in ℝⁿ determines two closed subsets W := u ∈ U: φ(u) ≤ 0, Z := u ∈ U: φ(u) = 0. We shall investigate the links of the sets W and Z at the points u ∈ U, which are well defined up to a definable homeomorphism. It is proven...
