Jan 9 at 13:36 comment added Iosif Pinelis @PietroMajer : On the other thought, $\mathbb R^2$ is not diffeomorphic (or even homeomorphic) to (say) $\mathbb R^2\setminus\{(0,0)\}$, because $\mathbb R^2$ is simply connected but $\mathbb R^2\setminus\{(0,0)\}$ is not.

Jan 8 at 21:05 comment added Pietro Majer Or also if G is the finite set of all the others critical points, we can connect them by a path (or a tree) $\Gamma$ that avoids F, and take $\Omega$ as a nbd of $\Gamma$
Jan 8 at 20:31 comment added Iosif Pinelis @PietroMajer : I see now: for a finite $F$, you can push points in $F$ to inifinity one-by-one.
Jan 8 at 20:10 comment added Iosif Pinelis @PietroMajer : I understand this. But how do you construct a diffeo from $\mathbb R^n$ onto a given open subset $U$ of $\mathbb R^n$, say $U:=\mathbb R^n\setminus F$, where $F$ is a finite set?
Jan 8 at 19:50 comment added Pietro Majer Maybe the expression was too vague/colored; I mean just this: Suppose $f:\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R$ has many critical points with various indices. If $\phi:\mathbb R^n\to\Omega\subset \mathbb R^n$ is a diffeo, then $g:=f\circ \phi$ has critical points in bijection with the critical points of $f$ in $\Omega$, with same index.
Jan 8 at 19:19 comment added Iosif Pinelis @PietroMajer : Can you explain how to push them to infinity by a diffeo?
Jan 8 at 18:44 comment added Pietro Majer As to the existence, it is no problem realizing any configuration. You can start with a function with all critical points and morse indices you want, and maybe more; then you push to infinity all extra critical points by a diffeo
