A type of singularity of differentiable mappings (cf. Singularities of differentiable mappings).
Let 
be a 
-function. Then 
is said to be a fold of 
if
 |
and if the Hessian of 
at 
is not equal to zero (cf. Hessian of a function). This definition can be generalized to the case of a 
-mapping 
between 
-manifolds 
and 
(necessarily of the same dimension), cf. [a1].
The name derives from the following fact: If 
(with 
, 
and 
as above) has a fold at 
, then there are local coordinates 
in 
vanishing at 
and local coordinates 
in 
vanishing at 
such that 
has the local representation
