Abstract

Let ℝ be an o-minimal expansion of (ℝ, <, +) and (ϕk)kЄℕ be a sequence of positive real numbers such that limtk →+∞ f (ϕk)/ϕk+1 = 0 for every f: ℝ → ℝ definable in ℜ (Such sequences always exist under some reasonable extra assumptions on ℜ, in particular, if ℜ is exponentially bounded or if the language is countable.) Then (ℜ, (S)) is d-minimal. where S ranges over all subsets of cartesian powers of the range of ϕ.
