Dec 19, 2012 at 3:47 | comment | added | Paul Siegel | I can't believe the result is really that recent: I've seen a version of (2) as a definition of smoothness in old differential geometry books. Aside from that, I remember this being assigned as a homework problem in an analysis class; it's harder than it seems at first, but it just came down to compactness of the circle if I recall correctly. | |
Dec 19, 2012 at 2:13 | comment | added | Leonard | Very interesting indeed! Looks trivial, but after looking at the actual proof, I am deeply impressed by its depth. | |
