Equivariant maps of joins of finite G-sets and an application to critical point theory

Danuta Rozpłoch-Nowakowska (1992)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

A lower estimate is proved for the number of critical orbits and critical values of a G-invariant C¹ function f : S n , where G is a finite nontrivial group acting freely and orthogonally on n + 1 0 . Neither Morse theory nor the minimax method is applied. The proofs are based on a general version of Borsuk’s Antipodal Theorem for equivariant maps of joins of G-sets.

Location of the critical points of certain polynomials

Similarity:

Let D¯ denote the unit disk {z : |z| < 1} in the complex plane C. In this paper, we study a family of polynomials P with only one zero lying outside D¯. We establish criteria for P to satisfy implying that each of P and P' has exactly one critical point outside D¯.
