If a complex analytic function, $f$, has a stratified isolated critical point, then it is known that the cohomology of the Milnor fibre of $f$ has a direct sum decomposition in terms of the normal Morse data to the strata. We use microlocal…

In this paper, we revisit implicit regularization from the ground up using notions from dynamical systems and invariant subspaces of Morse functions. The key contributions are a new criterion for implicit regularization---a leading…

We prove two principal results. Firstly, we characterise Maass forms in terms of functional equations for Dirichlet series twisted by primitive characters. The key point is that the twists are allowed to be meromorphic. This weakened…

A Morse function f on a manifold with corners M allows the characterization of the Morse data for a critical point by the Morse index. In fact, a modified gradient flow allows a proof of the Morse theorems in a manner similar to that of…

The method of Morse theory is used to analyze the distributions of unit charges interacting through a repulsive force and constrained to move on the surface of a sphere -- the Thomson problem. We find that, due to topological reasons, the…

We present a higher-order extension of the dual cell method for the time-domain Maxwell equations in three spatial dimensions. The approach builds upon a variational reinterpretation of the Finite Integration Technique on dual meshes and…

We introduce a method to reduce the study of the topology of a simplicial complex to that of a simpler one. We give some applications of this method to complexes arising from graphs. As a consequence, we answer some questions raised in…

The discrete gradient methods are integrators designed to preserve invariants of ordinary differential equations. From a formal series expansion of a subclass of these methods, we derive conditions for arbitrarily high order. We derive…

Different types of nonstandard homology groups based on the various subcomplexes of differential forms are considered as a continuation of the recent authors works. Some of them reflect interesting properties of dynamical systems on the…

In this work we provide a survey of Fuglede's flux extensions of first order partial differential operators, a concept largely forgotten today. A long the way we also survey the classical weak and strong extensions of PDE operators and the…

We investigate the homology of cosheaves over finite simplicial complexes. After constructing the Mayer-Vietoris short exact sequence for this homology theory, we apply discrete Morse theory to this setting, defining the associated Morse…

To ensure the discrete maximum principle or solution positivity in finite volume schemes, diffusive flux is sometimes discretized as a conical combination of finite differences. Such a combination may be impossible to construct along…

The theory of monotone operators plays a major role in modern optimization and many areas of nonlinera analysis. The central classes of monotone operators are matrices with a positive semidefinite symmetric part and subsifferential…

We introduce a new prescription for quantising scalar field theories perturbatively around a true minimum of the full quantum effective action, which is to `complete normal order' the bare action of interest. When the true vacuum of the…

Parametric model order reduction (pMOR) is a powerful tool for accelerating finite element (FE) simulations while maintaining parametric dependencies. For geometric parameters, pMOR by matrix interpolation is a well-suited approach because…

Polar orderings arose in recent work of Salvetti and the second author on minimal CW-complexes for complexified hyperplane arrangements. We study the combinatorics of these orderings in the classical framework of oriented matroids, and…

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…

Consider the infinite dimensional hyperbolic dynamical system provided by the (forward) heat semi-flow on the loop space of a closed Riemannian manifold M. We use the recently discovered backward {\lambda}-Lemma and elements of Conley…

In previous work we have shown that classical approximation theory provides methods for the systematic construction of inverse-closed smooth subalgebras. Now we extend this work to treat inverse-closed subalgebras of ultradifferentiable…

We introduce topological invariants of semi-decompositions (e.g. filtrations, semi-group actions, multi-valued dynamical systems, combinatorial dynamical systems) on a topological space to analyze semi-decompositions from a dynamical…
