Abstract

We present several examples connected with our articles on Whitney’s extension problem. The first shows that Glaeser iterations cannot be avoided in the $C^m$ extension criterion of \cite{F2}, and the remaining three are counterexamples to $C^m$ extension assuming a weaker criterion that was used to prove a $C^\infty$ extension theorem for closed subanalytic sets, in \cite{BMP1}.
