In this thesis, we apply cochain complexes as an algebraic model of space in a diverse range of mathematical and scientific settings. We begin with an algebraic-discrete Morse theory model of auto-encoding cochain data, connecting the homotopy theory of d ...
Phase synchronizations in models of coupled oscillators such as the Kuramoto model have been widely studied with pairwise couplings on arbitrary topologies, showing many unexpected dynamical behaviors. Here, based on a recent formulation the Kuramoto model ...
The field of computational topology has developed many powerful tools to describe the shape of data, offering an alternative point of view from classical statistics. This results in a variety of complex structures that are not always directly amenable for ...
Collapsing cell complexes was first introduced in the 1930's as a way to deform a space into a topological-equivalent subspace with a sequence of elementary moves. Recently, discrete Morse theory techniques provided an efficient way to construct deformatio ...
The Cartan formula encodes the relationship between the cup product and the action of the Steenrod algebra in F-p-cohomology. In this work, we present an effective proof of the Cartan formula at the cochain level when the field is F-2. More explicitly, for ...
Let M be a C-2-smooth Riemannian manifold with boundary and N a complete C-2-smooth Riemannian manifold. We show that each stationary p-harmonic mapping u: M -> N, whose image lies in a compact subset of N, is locally C-1,C-alpha for some alpha is an eleme ...
We define a conforming B-spline discretisation of the de Rham complex on multipatch geometries. We introduce and analyse the properties of interpolation operators onto these spaces which commute w.r.t. the surface differential operators. Using these result ...
Pitch-class distributions are of central relevance in music information retrieval, computational musicology and various other fields, such as music perception and cognition. However, despite their structure being closely related to the cognitively and musi ...
A homogenization approach for the solution of multiscale eddy current problem is proposed. The method is based on the subspace decomposition and it involves a coarse space and a nested fine space. The homogenized problem is posed in the coarse space with t ...
We prove that there are finitely many families, up to isomorphism in codimension one, of elliptic Calabi-Yau manifolds Y -> X with a rational section, provided that dim(Y)
