This paper, as a continuing work of [1], focus on establishing the fact that if we equip a reciprocal multi-agent (RMA) system with a triangulated Laman graph (TLG), then the associated potential function is generically an equivariant Morse function, i.e., there are only finitely many critical orbits each of which is nondegenerate. Though this assumption on the potential function of being an eq...
