This thesis introduces the idea of two-level type theory, an extension of Martin-L\"of type theory that adds a notion of strict equality as an internal primitive. A type theory with a strict equality alongside the more conventional form of…

One of the central notions to emerge from the study of persistent homology is that of interleaving distance. It has found recent applications in symplectic and contact geometry, sheaf theory, computational geometry, and phylogenetics. Here…

We introduce a new type of homotopy relation for digitally continuous functions which we call ``strong homotopy.'' Both digital homotopy and strong homotopy are natural digitizations of classical topological homotopy: the difference between…
