Abstract

Classical Ljusternik-Schnirelmann category is upper bounded by the number of critical points of any bounded from below differentiable functions of Palais-Smale type. Here we achieve an adaptation of this result for the tangential category of foliations. We introduce a weaker type of Palais-Smale function, obtaining a slight improvement in the classical theorem of critical points.
