Let M be a complete Finsler manifold of class C 1. It is shown that if M contains a compact subset of category k (in M), then each function f∈ C 1 (M, ℝ) which is bounded below and satisfies the Palais-Smale condition must necessarily have k critical points. This should be compared with the known result that f has at least cat (M) critical points provided M is of class C 2. An application is given to an eigenvalue problem for a quasilinear differential equation involving the p-Laplacian− div (|∇ u| p− 2∇ u), 1< p<∞.
