Summary: We obtain results concerning Arnold’s problem about a generalization of the Pontryagin-Thom construction in cobordism theory to real algebraic functions. The Pontryagin-Thom construction in the Wells form is transferred to the space of real functions. The relation of the problem with algebraic $$K$$-theory and the $$h$$-principle due to Eliashberg and Mishachev is revealed.
