Abstract

To investigate the topological structure of Morse functions on the projective plane we use the Reeb graphs. We describe it properties and prove that it is a complete topological invariant of simple Morse function on RP2\mathbb{R} P^2. We prove recurent formulas for the number of Reeb graphs with the given number of sadles (vertex).
