Let $M$ be a compact smooth Riemannian $n$-manifold with boundary. We combine Gromov's amenable localization technique with the Poincar\'{e} duality to study the {\sf traversally generic} geodesic flows on $SM$, the space of the spherical…

As has been observed by Morse \cite{Mo}, any generic vector field $v$ on a compact smooth manifold $X$ with boundary gives rise to a stratification of the boundary $\d X$ by compact submanifolds $\{\d_j^\pm X(v)\}_{1 \leq j \leq \dim(X)}$,…

We study smooth {\sf traversing} vector fields $v$ on compact manifolds $X$ with boundary. A traversing $v$ admits a Lyapunov function $f: X \to \Bbb R$ such that $df(v) > 0$. We show that the trajectory spaces $\mathcal T(v)$ of {\sf…

Any traversally generic vector flow on a compact manifold $X$ with boundary leaves some residual structure on its boundary $\d X$. A part of this structure is the flow-generated causality map $C_v$, which takes a region of $\d X$ to the…

Let M be a non-orientable compact 2-manifold of genus 4. Then there exists a family of quasi-minimal, Kupka-Smale smooth vector fields X_r in M, depending smoothly on 0<=r<e, such that, for some flow box V in M of X_0, and for all 0<=r,v<e,…

Based on the concept of manifold valued generalized functions we initiate a study of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with singular (in particular: distributional) right hand sides in a global setting. After establishing several…

Mapping between discrete and continuous distributions is a difficult task and many have had to resort to heuristical approaches. We propose a tessellation-based approach that directly learns quantization boundaries in a continuous space,…

The tame flows are ``nice'' flows on ``nice'' spaces. The nice (tame) sets are the pfaffian sets introduced by Khovanski, and a flow $\Phi: \mathbb{R}\times X\to X$ on pfaffian set $X$ is tame if the graph of $\Phi$ is a pfaffian subset of…
