Abstract
We study -definable functions that take integer values at all sufficiently large positive integers. If , then we find polynomials such that for all sufficiently large . Our result parallels classical theorems of P\'olya and Selberg for entire functions and generalizes Wilkie's classification for the case of , for some . Let and . Extending Wilkie's theorem in a separate direction, we show that if is - and , for some , then must eventually be given by a polynomial. This is an analog of a result by Pila for entire functions.
