Let f be a hypersurface surface local singularity whose zero set has 1-dimensional singular locus. We develop an explicit procedure that provides the boundary of the Milnor fibre of f as an oriented plumbed 3-manifold. The method provides…

The Morse function $f$ near a non-degenerate critical point $p$ is understood topologically, in the light of Morse's lemma. However, Morse's lemma standardizes the function $f$ itself, providing little information of how the gradient…

In this paper, we study some properties of the ring $C(X)_F$ of all real valued functions which are continuous except on some finite subsets of $X$. We show that $C(X)_F$ is closed under uniform limit if and only if the set of all…

In this paper we study the following nonlinear Maxwell's equations \\ $\varepsilon \E_{t}+\sigma(x,|\E|)\E= \g \vh +\F,\, \vh_{t}+\g \E=0$, where $\sigma(x,s)$ is a monotone graph of $s$. It is shown that the system has a unique weak…

Let $(X,0) \subset (\mathbb{R}^n,0)$ be the germ of a closed subanalytic set and let $f$ and $g : (X,0) \rightarrow (\mathbb{R},0)$ be two subanalytic functions. Under some conditions, we relate the critical points of $g$ on the real Milnor…

Let $(f, g)$ be a pair of complex analytic functions on a singular analytic space $X$. We give ``the correct'' definition of the relative polar curve of $(f, g)$, and we give a very formal generalization of L\^e's attaching result, which…
