Smooth approximations without critical points

Open Mathematics is a fully peer-reviewed, open access, electronic journal that publishes significant, original and relevant works in all areas of mathematics. The journal provides the readers with free, instant, and permanent access to all content worldwide; and the authors with extensive promotion of published articles, long-time preservation, no space constraints and quick publication after the acceptance.
Open Mathematics is listed inter alia by Clarivate Analytics (formerly Thomson Reuters) - Current Contents/Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences, JCR and SCIE. Our standard policy requires each paper to be reviewed by at least two Referees and the peer-review process is single-blind.

The journal aims at presenting high-impact and relevant research on topics across the full span of mathematics. Coverage includes:

• Algebra
