Abstract

Let TT be a complete, model complete o-minimal theory extending the theory of real closed ordered fields and assume that TT is power bounded. Let KK be a model of TT equipped with a TT-convex valuation ring O\mathcal{O} and a TT-derivation \partial such that \partial is monotone, i.e., weakly contractive with respect to the valuation induced by O\mathcal{O}. We show that the theory of monotone TT-convex TT-differential fields, i.e., the common theory of such KK, has a model completion, which is complete and distal. Among the axioms of this model completion, we isolate an analogue of henselianity that we call TT^{\partial}-henselianity. We establish an Ax--Kochen/Ershov theorem and further results for monotone TT-convex TT-differential fields that are TT^{\partial}-henselian.
