Abstract
We prove the following theorem: let be an expansion of the real field , such that every definable set (I) is a uniform countable union of semialgebraic sets, and (II) contains a "semialgebraic chunk". Then every definable smooth function with open semialgebraic domain is semialgebraic. Conditions (I) and (II) hold for various d-minimal expansions of the real field, such as when , or is an iteration sequence. A generalization of the theorem to d-minimal expansions of fails. On the other hand, we prove our theorem for expansions of arbitrary real closed fields. Moreover, its conclusion holds for certain structures with d-minimal open core, such as .
