Abstract

In this paper, the non-vacuousness of the family of all nowhere analytic infinitely differentiable functions on the real line vanishing on a prescribed set Z is characterized in terms of Z. In this case, large algebraic structures are found inside such family. The results obtained complete or extend a number of previous ones by several authors.
