69. For some systems 5 Bohr can be to small. For example, critical points as far as 13 Bohr from cubane were found (see Sec. VI).
70. The critical points of the scalar field U(R) are the zeros of the vector field ∇U(R), i.e., the negative electric field. The following argumentation is based on the theory of gradient vector fields in the framework of differential topology [see, e.g., V. Guillemin and A. Pollack, Differential Topology (Prentice-Hall, New Jersey, 1974)]. In order to apply this theory, the critical points of the MEP have to be substituted by the zeros of the negative electric field.
