Streszczenie
It is quite natural to conjecture that a positively homogeneous function with degree $d\geq 2$ on ${{\mathbb R}}^N$ satisfies the Łojasiewicz gradient inequality with exponent $\theta = 1/d $ without any need for an analyticity assumption. We show that this property is true under some additional hypotheses, but not always, even for $ N= 2$.
