Bi-Lipschitz sufficiency of jets (Q1035205)

The author addresses a classical problem of singularity theory regarding the sufficiency of jets, which aims to determine whether a function germ is characterized up to some equivalence relation by its Taylor expansion at the origin. Several theorems are proved, on bi-Lipschitz or \(C^1\)-sufficiency of jets -- which are expressed by means of transversality with respect to some strata of a stratification satisfying the (L) condition of \textit{T. Mostowski} [Lipschitz equisingularity. Diss. Math. 243 (1985; Zbl 0578.32020)]. As a consequence, it is shown that the number of metric types of intersection of smooth transversals to a stratum of an (a) regular stratification of a subanalytic set, is finite.
