Persistent homology allows us to create topological summaries of complex data. In order to analyse these statistically, we need to choose a topological summary and a relevant metric space in which this topological summary exists. While…

We present an algorithm which produces a decomposition of a regular cellular complex with a discrete Morse function analogous to the Morse-Smale decomposition of a smooth manifold with respect to a smooth Morse function. The advantage of…

This note is an addendum to 'Critical values of random analytic functions on complex manifolds, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 63 No. 3 (2014), 651-686.' by R.Feng and S. Zelditch (arXiv:1212.4762). In this note, we give the formula of the limiting…

For a metrizable space $X$, we denote by $\mathrm{Met}(X)$ the space of all metric that generate the same topology of $X$. The space $\mathrm{Met}(X)$ is equipped with the supremum distance. In this paper, for every strongly…

We construct a function on the real line supported on a set of finite measure whose spectrum has density zero.

Gromov introduced two distance functions, the box distance and the observable distance, on the space of isomorphism classes of metric measure spaces and developed the convergence theory of metric measure spaces. We investigate several…

Given a finite number of samples of a continuous set-valued function F, mapping an interval to non-empty compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$, $F: [a,b] \to K(\mathbb{R}^d)$, we discuss the problem of computing good approximations of F. We…

We construct an example of a real-valued continuous non-constant function $f$ defined on a connected complete metric space $X$ such that every point of $X$ is a point of local minimum or local maximum for $f$. The space $X$ is connected but…

Given strong local Dirichlet forms and $\mathbb{R}^N$-valued functions on a metrizable space, we introduce the concepts of geodesic distance and intrinsic distance on the basis of these objects. They are defined in a geometric and an…

We prove a version of the fundamental theorems of Morse Theory in the setting of finite spaces or partially ordered sets. By using these results we extend Forman's discrete Morse theory to more general cell complexes and derive the…

We apply the topology of convergence on compact sets to define unpredictable functions [5, 6]. The topology is metrizable and easy for applications with integral operators. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach, the existence and…

This paper defines a distance function that measures the dissimilarity between planar geometric figures formed with straight lines. This function can in turn be used in partial matching of different geometric figures. For a given pair of…

In studies of smooth maps with good differential topological conditions such as immersions, embeddings, Morse functions and their higher dimensional versions including fold maps and application to geometry, especially algebraic and…

We investigate strongly separately continuous functions on a product of topological spaces and prove that if $X$ is a countable product of real lines, then there exists a strongly separately continuous function $f:X\to\mathbb R$ which is…

The number of Morse points in a Morsification determines the topology of the Milnor fibre of a holomorphic function germ $f$ with isolated singularity. If $f$ has an arbitrary singular locus, then this nice relation to the Milnor fibre…

Functions correspond to one of the key concepts in mathematics and science, allowing the representation and modeling of several types of signals and systems. The present work develops an approach for characterizing the coverage and…

This paper was motivated by work of Arnold where he explains how to count "snakes", i.e. Morse functions on the real axis with prescribed behavior at infinity. This leads immediately to a count of excellent Morse functions on the circle,…

Let $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$ be the ring of all real-valued measurable functions constructed over a measure space $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$. A topology on $\mathcal{M}(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$, called the {$F_\mu$-topology} weaker than the {…

Metric spaces are a fundamental component of mathematics and have a paramount importance as a framework for measuring distance. They can be found in many different branches of mathematics, such as analysis and topology. This paper offers an…

We describe the precise structure of the distributional Hessian of the distance function from a point of a Riemannian manifold. In doing this we also discuss some geometrical properties of the cutlocus of a point and we compare some…
