Stability zones in Whitney's extension problem for ultradifferentiable functions (Q1810059)

The author establishes a connection between the growth rate of weight functions \(\omega\) generating nonquasianalytic classes of ultradifferentiable functions of Beurling and Roumien type and the validity of analogues of Whitney's extension theorem for these classes. The main result of the paper asserts that there is also a zone of stable strictness for weight functions which is defined exactly: on the one hand, any weight function increasing no faster than \(\ln^2t\) is strict, and on the other hand, for all \(\omega(t)\) increasing faster than \(\ln^2t\) at infinity there exists a nonstrict weight function \(\sigma(t)= O(\omega(t))\) as \(t\to\infty\).
