Sobolev spaces are a natural framework for the analysis of problems in partial differential equations and calculus of variations. Some physical and geometric contexts, such as liquid crystals models and harmonic maps, lead to consider…
The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, we give easy-to-handle criteria to determine whether a given family of subsets of a vector space is a neighbourhood basis of the origin for a complete vector topology. Then, we apply these criteria…
There are several notions of a smooth map from a convex set to a cartesian space. Some of these notions coincide, but not all of them do. We construct a real-valued function on a convex subset of the plane that does not extend to a smooth…
We describe all metric spaces that have sufficently many affine functions. As an application we obtain a metric characterization of linear-convex subsets of Banach spaces.
We consider the connection of functional decompositions of rational functions over the real and complex numbers, and a question about curves on a Riemann sphere which are invariant under a rational function.
Reeb graphs are widely used in a range of fields for the purposes of analyzing and comparing complex spaces via a simpler combinatorial object. Further, they are closely related to extended persistence diagrams, which largely but not…
Refined algebraic domains are regions in the plane surrounded by finitely many non-singular real algebraic curves which may intersect with normal crossing. We are interested in shapes of such regions with surrounding real algebraic curves.…
In shape analysis, the concept of shape spaces has always been vague, requiring a case-by-case approach for every new type of shape. In this paper, we give a general definition for an abstract space of shapes in a manifold. This notion…
Variational analysis presents a unified theory encompassing in particular both smoothness and convexity. In a Euclidean space, convex sets and smooth manifolds both have straightforward local geometry. However, in the most basic hybrid case…
This paper begins the study of Morse theory for orbifolds, or more precisely for differentiable Deligne-Mumford stacks. The main result is an analogue of the Morse inequalities that relates the orbifold Betti numbers of an almost-complex…
To a given real polynomial function f $\in$ R[x1, . . . , x d ], we associate real topological zeta functions Ztop,0(f\,; s) and Z $\pm$ top,0 (f\,; s) $\in$ Q(s), analogous to the topological zeta function of Denef and Loeser in the…
The real symplectic Stiefel manifold is the manifold of symplectic bases of symplectic subspaces of a fixed dimension. It features in a large variety of applications in physics and engineering. In this work, we study this manifold with the…
Fold maps are higher dimensional versions of Morse functions, which play important roles in the studies of smooth manifolds, and such general maps also have been fundamental tools in the studies of smooth manifolds by using generic maps. 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…
This paper is the third in a series that researches the Morse Theory, gradient flows, concavity and complexity on smooth compact manifolds with boundary. Employing the local analytic models from \cite{K2}, for \emph{traversally generic…
Many concrete problems are formulated in terms of a finite set of points in $R^n$ which, via the ambient Euclidean metric, becomes a finite metric space. To obtain information from such a space, it is often useful to associate a graph to…
We investigate topological properties of simple Morse functions with 4 critical points on immersed 2-spheres. To classify such functions, dual graph of immersion and Reeb graphs is used. We have found all possible structures of the…
A {\em cyclic graph} is a graph with at each vertex a cyclic order of the edges incident with it specified. We characterize which real-valued functions on the collection of cubic cyclic graphs are partition functions of a real vertex model…
A hypergraph can be obtained from a simplicial complex by deleting some non-maximal simplices. In this paper, we study the embedded homology as well as the homology of the (lower-)associated simplicial complexes for hypergraphs. We…
