On a Differential Intermediate Value Property

Logic 2021-05-27 v1

Abstract

Liouville closed HH-fields are ordered differential fields whose ordering and derivation interact in a natural way and where every linear differential equation of order 11 has a nontrivial solution. (The introduction gives a precise definition.) For a Liouville closed HH-field KK with small derivation we show: KK has the Intermediate Value Property for differential polynomials iff KK is elementarily equivalent to the ordered differential field of transseries. We also indicate how this applies to Hardy fields.
