Approximation of smooth diffeomorphisms by polynomial diffeomorphisms?

Is it possible to (locally) approximate an arbitrary smooth diffeomorphism by a polynomial diffeomorphism? More precisely: Let $f:\mathbb{R}^d\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^d$ be a smooth diffeomorphism for $d&...

Geometry of Level sets of elliptic polynomials in two real variables

Updated: A polynomial $P(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}[x,y]$ is called an elliptic polynomial if its last homogeneous part does not vanish on $\mathbb{R}^2\setminus\{0\}$.The two answers to this post provide a ...

Expressing a vector valued function in terms of its derivatives

Consider a function $$ f:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^m $$ given by $m$ functions $f_i:\mathbb{R}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ that we can assume to be polynomials in $x_1,\dots,x_n$. Does there ...

Question regarding the image of a polynomial map containing a small box

I have the following question, which intuitively seems it should be true but I wasn't sure how to prove it rigorously. Let $\delta, \varepsilon > 0$. Let $\Psi_i(w_1, w_2, \mathbf{v})$ be a ...
