Examples.
For a smooth function, a critical point is a point at which the derivative vanishes.
The collection of all critical points is also called the critical locus of .
A formalization of this in cohesive geometry is at cohesive (infinity,1)-topos – infinitesimal cohesion – critical locus.
Critical loci are used to study topology in terms of Morse theory.
Critical loci of functionals on jet bundles are studied in variational calculus. See also at shell.
