Abstract

Suppose that, for each point in a given subset , we are given an -jet and a convex, symmetric set of -jets at . We ask whether there exist a function and a finite constant , such that the -jet of at belongs to for all . We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such , provided each satisfies a condition that we call "Whitney -convexity''.
