C0 and bi-Lipschitz K-equivalence of mappings

In this paper we investigate the classification of mappings up to K-equivalence. We give several results of this type. We study semialgebraic deformations up to semialgebraic C-0 K-equivalence and bi-Lipschitz K-equivalence. We give an algebraic criterion for bi-Lipschitz K-triviality in terms of semi-integral closure (Theorem 3.5). We also give a new proof of a result of Nishimura: we show that two germs of smooth mappings f, g : R-n -> R-n, finitely determined with respect to K-equivalence are C-0-K-equivalent if and only if they have the same degree in absolute value.
