The absence of infinitesimals above 1 in maximal Hardy fields
The absence of infinitesimals above 1 in maximal Hardy fields
Let be a maximal Hardy field, let denote the elements of greater than every real constant, and write when at . A function is required to have derivative , the nonvanishing germs.
Maximal Hardy-field conjecture. If is maximal, then there is no such that
and .
This conjecture is presented as much stronger than the preceding proposition, postulating an analogue of the cited lower-bound result for infinite lower bounds. Its resolution is not given in the supplied text.
