Composing Navigation Functions on Cartesian Products of Manifolds with Boundary

Robot Navigation Functions on Manifolds with Boundary

This paper concerns the construction of a class of scalar valued analytic maps on analytic manifolds with boundary. These maps, which we term navigation functions, are constructed on an arbitrary sphere world—a compact connected subset of Euclidean n-space whose boundary is formed from the disjoint union of a finite number of (n − l)-spheres. We show that this class is invariant under compositi...

Multiple point of self-transverse immesions of certain manifolds

In this paper we will determine the multiple point manifolds of certain self-transverse immersions in Euclidean spaces. Following the triple points, these immersions have a double point self-intersection set which is the image of an immersion of a smooth 5-dimensional manifold, cobordant to Dold manifold $V^5$ or a boundary. We will show there is an immersion of $S^7times P^2$ in $mathbb{R}^{1...

Fractal Dimension of Graphs of Typical Continuous Functions on Manifolds

If M is a compact Riemannian manifold then we show that for typical continuous function defined on M, the upper box dimension of  graph(f) is as big as possible and the lower box dimension of graph(f) is as small as possible.
