    For the determination of the zeros of a map f from \(R^ n\) into itself the standard homotopy \(H(t,x)=f(x)+(t-1)f(a)\), \(0\leq t\leq 1\), is considered and results are obtained which guarantee that the trajectory either ends at a zero of f or becomes asymptotic to a hyperplane \(t=t_ 0\). These results are then applied to prove two well-known existence theorems for zeros of functions f which are proper on \(R^ n\).
