Abstract

A sufficient condition is given to assert that a Cm-n+1 mapping between Rm and Rn which has a zero also has a second zero. The condition can still be useful for continuous mappings when m = n. The constructive proof of the result is based upon continuation methods and supplies the existence of a path linking the zero points.
