Abstract
The aim of this paper is to exhibit a connection between certain types of envelope and the discriminant sets of function singularities. We show how conditions that the envelope has a certain local structure (which arise from the singularity theory) often have pleasant geometric interpretations. Moreover in many cases one can show that these conditions are generically (nearly always) satisfied.
