Abstract:
I show that in an o-minimal structure on the real field, satisfying certain conditions, every closed definable set is the zero set of a smooth definable function. The conditions are shown to hold in the Pfaffian closure of a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure having smooth cell decomposition.
