All Questions

I've come across a lot of questions (and nice answers) on MO, concerning infinite-dimensional manifolds and differential calculus over them, but nothing suiting the simpler and special case I have in ...

Let $U$ be an open, bounded and convex set in $\mathbb{R} ^n$. Since $\partial U$ is a rectifiable set it follows that up to a set of $H^{n-1}$-measure zero $\partial U$ is contained in a countable ...

Fix a polynomial mapping $\mathbb R^n\overset{f}{\to} \mathbb R$. This answer shows that if the top degree homogeneous component of $f$ is zero only at the origin, then $f$ is proper. Intuitively, ...

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$ be a bounded regular simply connected domain contained in a ball $S$. Assume also that $\Omega$ is simply connected by surfaces (i.e. every regular closed surface ...

Let $\mathrm{\gamma} : [0,1] \to \mathbb{R}^2$ be a piecewise smooth, simple plane curve. Assume $\gamma(0) = (0,0)$, $\gamma(1) = (1,0)$ and that the slope of the tangent is not $0$ wherever it's ...

To be more precise I am interested in questions similar to the one below (I asked the question below on math.stackexchange last week but got not answer.) I have a $C^1$ function $f:[0,1]^2 \to \...
