Abstract: Given two Morse functions $f,mu$ on a compact manifold $M$, we study the Morse homology for the Lagrange multiplier function on $MimesmathbbR$ which sends $(x,eta)$ to $f(x)+etamu(x)$. Take a product metric on $MimesmathbbR$, and rescale its $mathbbR$-component by a factor $lambd{a}^2$. We show that generically, for large $lambda$, the Morse-Smale-Witten chain complex is isomorphic to the one for $f$ and the metric restricted to $m{u}^{-1}(0)$, with grading shifted by one. On the other hand, let $lambdao0$, we obtain another chain complex, which is geometrically quite different but has the same homology as the singular homology of $m{u}^{-1}(0)$ and the isomorphism between them is provided by the homotopy by varying $lambda$. Our proofs contain both the implicit function theorem on Banach manifolds and geometric singular perturbation theory.
