Many new universal relations are obtained between the Euler numbers of manifolds of singular supporting hyperplanes of an arbitrary generic smooth closed k ‐dimensional submanifold in R n where n ⩽ 7 or k = 1. These relations are applied to Barner‐convex curves in an odd‐dimensional space R n . A universal (nontrivial) linear relation is established between the numbers of singular supporting hyperplanes of various types but of the same total multiplicity n of tangency with a given generic smooth closed connected Barner‐convex curve in R n . The coefficients of this relation are defined by Catalan numbers.
