Our main result though, is inscribed in the framework of tame geometry, stating that a closed-valued semialgebraic set-valued map is almost everywhere continuous (in both topological and measure-theoretic sense). The result, depending on stratification techniques, holds true in a more general setting of o-minimal (or tame) set-valued maps. Some applications are briefly discussed at the end.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-05-04T12:42:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49J53", "14P10", "57N80", "54C60", "58C07" ], "keywords": [ "tame geometry", "set-valued maps", "continuity", "type results concerning local minima", "sard type results concerning local" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0905.0373D" } } }
