Abstract

We prove that no restriction of the sine function to any (open and nonempty) interval is definable in 〈R, +, ·, ×, <, exp, constants〉, and that no restriction of the exponential function to an (open and nonempty) interval is definable in 〈R, +, ·, <, sin0, constants〉, where sin0(x) = sin(x) for x ∈ [—π, π], and sin0(x) = 0 for all x ∉ [—π, π].
