We discuss a problem on singularity theory of differentiable (smooth) or real algebraic maps which is different from knowing existence and has been difficult: constructing explcit real algebraic functions. We discuss construction of real…

A special generic map is a smooth map regarded as a natural generalization of Morse functions with just 2 singular points on homotopy spheres. Canonical projections of unit spheres are simplest examples of such maps and manifolds admitting…

In this paper which is the first of a series of papers on smooth structures, the concepts of C-structures and smooth structures are introduced and studied. The notion of smooth structure on semi-integral domains is given. It is shown that…

We consider the Reeb graph of a thickening of points sampled from an unknown space. Our main contribution is a framework to transfer reconstruction results similar to the well-known work of Niyogi, Smale, and Weinberger to the setting of…

The notion of smoothness was introduced originally in the context of step systems on connected graphs. Smoothness turns out to be a very general property of metrics defined by a five-point condition. Restricted to graphs, it is closely…

Fold maps are smooth maps at each singular point of which it is represented as the product map of a Morse function and the identity map. Round fold maps are, in short, such maps the sets of all singular points of which are embedded…

The class of special generic maps contains Morse functions with exactly two singular points, characterizing spheres topologically which are not $4$-dimensional and the $4$-dimensional unit sphere. This class is for higher dimensional…

It is well-known that a function on an open set in $\mathbb R^d$ is smooth if and only if it is arc-smooth, i.e., its composites with all smooth curves are smooth. In recent work, we extended this and related results (for instance, a real…

For a connected locally path-connected topological space $X$ and a continuous function $f$ on it such that its Reeb graph $R_f$ is a finite topological graph, we show that the cycle rank of $R_f$, i.e., the first Betti number $b_1(R_f)$, in…

As Reeb's theorem shows, Morse functions with exactly two singular points on closed manifolds are very simple and important. They characterize spheres whose dimensions are not $4$ topologically and the $4$-dimensional unit sphere. Special…

We prove a result analogous to Reeb's theorem in the context of Morse-Bott functions: if a closed, smooth manifold $M$ admits a Morse-Bott function having two critical submanifolds $S^k$ and $S^l$ ($k \neq l$), then $M$ has dimension…
