A correction to a paper of H. King.
Nous appliquons les résultats d’un article précédent au domaine des fonctions différentiables. Nous obtenons en particulier des théorèmes de division et des théorèmes de fonctions composées.
This is mainly a survey on the theory of caustics and wave front propagations with applications to differential geometry of hypersurfaces in Euclidean space. We give a brief review of the general theory of caustics and wave front propagations, which are well-known now. We also consider a relationship between caustics and wave front propagations which might be new. Moreover, we apply this theory to differential geometry of hypersurfaces, getting new geometric properties.
