Singularity theory and heat equation

Differential Geometry 2015-03-10 v1

Abstract

The paper (in French) exemplifies graphically a solution of the heat equation which is a 1-dimensional unfolding of an elliptic umbilic catastrophe. The example is due to James Damon and adapts Thom-Mather's singularity theory to multiscale models of scale-space analysis in image processing.
