This is a note on the graphs of two smooth real-valued functions in the plane with no intersection and the natural map onto the region surrounded by them with the canonical projection to the line composed, yielding its Reeb space. The Reeb…

Reeb spaces of (continuous) real-valued functions on (nice) topological spaces are the spaces whose underlying sets consist of all connected components (contours) of their level sets and seen naturally as quotient spaces of the spaces. They…

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…

We discuss smooth functions which are Morse on preimages of values not being local extrema. We call such a function internally Morse or I-Morse. The Reeb graph of a smooth function is the space of all connected components of preimages of…

There are two rather distinct approaches to Morse theory nowadays: smooth and discrete. We propose to study a real valued function by assembling all associated sections in a topological category. From this point of view, Reeb functions on…

We classify the most common local forms of smooth maps from a smooth manifold L to the plane. The word "local" can refer to locations in the source L, but also to locations in the target. The first point of view leads us to a classification…
