Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to give a sufficient condition for (strong) stability of non-proper smooth functions (with respect to the Whitney Cinfty-topology). We show that a Morse function is stable if it is end-trivial at any point in its discriminant, where end-triviality (which is also called local triviality at infinity) is a property concerning behavior of functions around the ends of the source manifolds. We further show that a Morse function f:NomathbbR is strongly stable (i.e. there exists a continuous mapping gmapsto(Phig,phig)inoperatornameDiff(N)imesoperatornameDiff(mathbbR) such that phigcircgcircPhig=f for any g close to f) if (and only if) f is quasi-proper. This result yields existence of a strongly stable but not infinitesimally stable function. Applying our result on stability, we give a reasonable sufficient condition for stability of Nash functions, and show that any Nash function becomes stable after a generic linear perturbation.
