We prove a number of analogs of this theorem, e.g., for ovals of osculating cubics, osculating polynomials and trigonometric polynomials; in each case, we will obtain a non-differentiable foliation with smooth leaves.14 pages, 6 figures, v2: references addedDifferential GeometryAlgebraic Geometry53A20; 51N15Variations on the Tait-Kneser theoremtext
