We prove a Morse type lemma for, possibly degenerate, critical points of a C 1 function twice strongly differentiable at those points, which allows us to recover, for Finsler metrics, the theorem of Gromoll and Meyer on the existence of infinitely many closed geodesics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
