what is the difference between **isolated local minimum** and **local minimum and isolated critical point**?

In section four of the paper On the stable equilibrium points of gradient systems, authors introduce two concepts listed below.

I am confused about the difference between them.

Could anyone help to clarify it? Thanks in advance!

(1) Isolated local minimum

(2) Local minimum and isolated critical point.

They seems the same to me.
