Gradient ranges of bumps on the plane

For a -smooth bump function we show that the gradient range is the closure of its interior, provided that admits a modulus of continuity satisfying as . The result is a consequence of a more general result about gradient ranges of bump functions of the same degree of smoothness. For such bump functions we show that for open sets , either the intersection is empty or its topological dimension is at least two. The proof relies on a new Morse-Sard type result where the smoothness hypothesis is independent of the dimension of the space.

Information about the structure of the set of -broken orbits is suggested; results are formulated in terms of topological degree theory.

If is the usual topology then the condition is equivalent to the fact that is approched in norm by step functions , where the set of intervals covers the set where is a singleton.
