This situation is translated into a question about types: What are the conditions on an $n$-type such that, for any bounded definable function, there is a definable set containing the type on which the function is continuous, and can be extended continuously to the set's closure? All such types are definable, and we give the precise conditions that are equivalent to existence of a desired definable set.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-04-21T15:44:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03C64", "26B05" ], "keywords": [ "o-minimal structures", "functions continuous", "bounded definable function", "o-minimal field", "initial segment" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0902.4612R" } } }
