| Research Abstract |
Our main problem is an answer to Whitney's problem 1934, the problem of finding a condition for a function defined on a closed subset of a Euclidean space to be extendible to smooth function on the ambient space. We have given a partial answer to this problem in the paper Ann Inst. Fourier, Grenoble 2004. Namely we have shown that a certain kind of self similar sets have full higher order tangent space. Then, by a conjecture posed by Bierstone-Milman-Pawlucki, we get an positive answer to Whitney's problem for these sets.
Later, this problem has been completely solved by Fefferman (Annals of Mathematics 2007). Hence we have shifted the subject a little. We studied the higher order tangent space of a set itself. We have found that the interpolation theory plays an important role in the study of smooth functions. This yields a survey paper on interpolation theory in the book.
