Let $M \subseteq [0,1] \times \mathbb{R}^n$ be a compact semialgebraic set. In particular, $M$ can be described by a finite set of polynomial equalities and inequalities. Let $\delta_0 > 0$ be a real number. Suppose that the following condition holds: for every finite collections $t_1,t_2,\cdots,t_K \in [0,1]$ there is a continuous function $x : [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}^n$ that satisfies: 1) The graph of $x$ is a subset of $M$. 2) $\|x_{t_k}\| \geq \delta_0$ for every $k\in \{1,2,\ldots,K\}$. I would like to deduce that there is a continuous function $x : [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}^n_+$ that satisfies: 1) The graph of $x$ is a subset of $M$. 2) $\|x_{t}\| \geq \delta_0$ for every $t \in [0,1]$. Is this true?
