In [8] we investigate the directional behaviour of bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms h : (R n , 0) → (R n , 0) for which there exist the limits lim n→∞ nh( x n ), denoted by h(x). The existence of such h(x) makes trivial to see that h(D(A)) = D(h(A)) for arbitrary set-germs A at 0 ∈ R n .Recently, J. Edson Sampaio made the remarkable observation ([9]) that we always can assume the existence of a subsequence n i ∈ N, such that lim ni→∞ n i h( x ni ) = dh(x) (in his notation) and this dh, although not so strong as h, behaves as well directional-wise for subanalytic sets. He uses this fact to show that bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic subanalytic sets have bi-Lipschitz homeomorphic tangent cones.The purpose of this note is to show that Sampaio's dh works as well for (SSP) sets, that is, the above result is characteristic for (SSP) sets, a much wider class. In particular, we show that the transversality between (SSP) sets is preserved under bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms (see 3.13).
