SynopsisLetFbe any closed subset of ℝN. Stein's regularized distance is a smooth (C∞) function, defined on the complementcF, that approximates the distance fromFof any pointx ∈cFin the manner shown by the inequalities (*) in the Introduction below. In this paper we use a method different from Stein's to construct a one-parameter family of smooth approximations to any positive Lipschitz continuous function, with the effect that the constants in (*) can be made arbitrarily close to 1. It is shown that partial derivatives of order two or more, while necessarily unbounded, are best possible in order of magnitude.
