Introduction. The concept of category weight was introduced by Fadell–Husseini [FH] and developed by Rudyak and Strom. Here we give a survey, some further development and applications of category weight. The Lusternik–Schnirelmann category of a topological space X, catX, is defined as the minimal number k such that X admits a numerable covering {A1, . . . , Ak+1} where each Ai is contractible in X. Lusternik and Schnirelmann [LS] introduced the invariant catX for manifolds. They proved that, for every connected smooth (=C∞) closed manifold M , 1 + catM ≤ CritM := min{crit f |f ∈ C∞(M,R)}
