The Morse index theorem in the case of two variable endpoints in conic Finsler manifolds (Q6196040)

The author generalizes the Morse index theorem where the ends are submanifolds in Finsler geometry proved by \textit{I. R. Peter} [Houston J. Math. 32, No. 4, 995--1009 (2006; Zbl 1111.53059)] to (conic) pseudo-Finsler manifolds with lower smoothness (Theorem 1.1). The paper is organized into three sections as follows: Introduction, preliminaries and statements of results; Proof of Theorem 1.1; Related conclusions and consequences, examples.
