Can we approximate a vector field on the plane with non-vanishing vector fields in $W^{1,2}$?

Let $V$ be a compactly-supported vector field on $\mathbb{R}^2$, whose zeros inside some open neighbourhood of the closed unit disk $\mathbb{D}^2$ are isolated. Does there exist a sequence of ...

Implicit function theorem at a singular point?

Let $F:\mathbb{R}^2 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be three times continuously differentiable in some open neighborhood $\mathcal{U}$ of $(0,0)$. Suppose that $F(0,0) = F_x(0,0) = F_y(0,0) = F_{xy}(0,0) = 0$ ...

Approximate a one-form on the disk with nowhere vanishing one-forms satisfying an asymptotic vanishing of some derivatives

Let $\mathbb{D}^2$ be the closed two-dimensional unit disk, and let $g:\mathbb{D}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ be a non-constant harmonic function (smooth up to the boundary). Does there exist a sequence of ...
