Abstract: The classical Remez inequality bounds the maximum of the absolute value of a polynomial

P (x)

of degree

d

on

[- 1, 1]

through the maximum of its absolute value on any subset

Z

of positive measure in

[- 1, 1]

. Similarly, in several variables the maximum of the absolute value of a polynomial

P (x)

of degree

d

on the unit ball

B^{n} s u b s e t {m a t h b b R}^{n}

can be bounded through the maximum of its absolute value on any subset

Z s u b s e t Q_{1}^{n}

of positive

n

-measure

m_{n} (Z)

. In cite{Yom} a stronger version of Remez inequality was obtained: the Lebesgue

n

-measure

m_{n}

was replaced by a certain geometric quantity

o m e g a_{n, d} (Z)

satisfying

o m e g a_{n, d} (Z) g e q m_{n} (Z)

for any measurable

Z

. The quantity

o m e g a_{n, d} (Z)

can be effectively estimated in terms of the metric entropy of

Z

and it may be nonzero for discrete and even finite sets

Z

. In the present paper we extend Remez inequality to functions of finite smoothness. This is done by combining the result of cite{Yom} with the Taylor polynomial approximation of smooth functions. As a consequence we obtain explicit lower bounds in some examples in the Whitney problem of a

C^{k}

-smooth extrapolation from a given set

Z

, in terms of the geometry of

Z
