Analytic Extension of Smooth Functions

Let F be a closed proper subset of ?ⁿ and let ?* be a class of ultradifferentiable functions. We give a new proof for the following result of Schmets and Valdivia on analytic modification of smooth functions: for every function ? ∈ ?* (?ⁿ) there is ${widetilde f} in {cal E}_{*}(rm R ^{n})$ which is real analytic on ?ⁿF and such that ?^a ? ¦ _F = ?^a ? ¦ _F for any a ∈ ?₀ ⁿ. For bounded ultradifferentiable functions ? we can obtain ${widetilde f}$ by means of a continuous linear operator.
