Abstract:

The level set <span id=M" /> of a smooth mapping <span id=F" /> in a neighborhood of an anormal point is investigated. Concepts of 2-regularity are introduced for it. It is proved that if the mapping is 2-regular at the point under consideration, then in a neighborhood of it the set <span id=M" /> is locally diffeomorphic to the set of zeros of the second differential of <span id=F" />.
