Splitting lemma (functions)

In mathematics, especially in singularity theory, the splitting lemma is a useful result due to René Thom which provides a way of simplifying the local expression of a function usually applied in a neighbourhood of a degenerate critical point.

Not to be confused with the splitting lemma in homological algebra.
