Let $D$ be a disk in $\mathbb{R}^n$ and $f\in C^{r+2}(D, \mathbb{R}^k)$. We deal with the problem of the algebraic approximation of the set $j^{r}f^{-1}(W)$ consisting of the set of points in the disk $D$ where the $r$-th jet extension of $f$ meets a given semialgebraic set $W\subset J^{r}(D, \mathbb{R}^k).$ Examples of sets arising in this way are the zero set of $f$, or the set of its critical points. Under some transversality conditions, we prove that $f$ can be approximated with a…

### Higher derivatives of functions vanishing on a given set

Let f : B → R be a d + 1 times continuously differentiable function on the unit ball B, with max z∈Bn‖f(z)‖ = 1. A well-known fact is that if f vanishes on a set Z ⊂ B with a non-empty interior, then

Given a polynomial map $\psi:S^m\to \mathbb{R}^k$ with components of degree $d$, we investigate the structure of the semialgebraic set $Z\subseteq S^m$ consisting of those points where $\psi$ and its

It is proven that the sum of the Betti numbers of S is bounded by sk' 2O(k2 m4) in case the total number of monomials occurring in the polynomials in ${\cal P} \cup \{Q\}$ is m.
