Reducing smooth functions to normal forms near critical points
The paper is devoted to "uniform" reduction of smooth functions on 2-manifolds to canonical form near critical points by some coordinate changes in some neighbourhoods of these points. For singularity types $E_6,E_8$ and $A_n$, we explicitly construct such coordinate changes and estimate from below (in terms of $C^r$-norm of the function) the radius of a required neighbourhood.
