Outside a meagre set in , every rational and every positive integer admit such that
For fixed , the union over of these strict-inequality sets is open. It is dense because a perturbation can make the th derivative arbitrarily large while keeping any prescribed finite collection of lower derivatives arbitrarily small. The Baire category theorem applied over the countable pairs gives the claim.
