For a bounded domain equipped with a piecewise Lipschitz continuous Riemannian metric g, we consider harmonic map from (Ω,g) to a compact Riemannian manifold (N,h)⊂Rk without boundary. We generalize the notion of stationary harmonic map and prove the partial regularity. We also discuss the global Li…
We study the Lipschitz simplicial volume, which is a metric version of the simplicial volume. We introduce the piecewise straightening procedure for singular chains, which allows us to generalize the proportionality principle and the product inequality to the case of complete Riemannian manifolds of finite volume with …
We study online optimization of smoothed piecewise constant functions over the domain [0, 1). This is motivated by the problem of adaptively picking parameters of learning algorithms as in the recently introduced framework by Gupta and Roughgarden (2016). Majority of the machine learning literature has focused on Lipsc…
We develop some basic Lipschitz homotopy technique and apply it to manifolds with finite asymptotic dimension. In particular we show that the Higson compactification of a uniformly contractible manifold is mod p acyclic in the finite dimensional case. Then we give an alternative proof of the Higher Signature Novikov …

method Introduced and studied GroupSort neural networks with constraints on weights, proving their ability to approximate Lipschitz continuous functions.
result GroupSort networks can represent any Lipschitz continuous piecewise linear functions and are well-suited for approximating general Lipschitz continuous functions.
In this article we investigate a first order reparametrization-invariant Sobolev metric on the space of immersed curves. Motivated by applications in shape analysis where discretizations of this infinite-dimensional space are needed, we extend this metric to the space of Lipschitz curves, establish the wellposedness of…
We study the differential geometric consequences of our previous result on the existence of fat triangulations, in conjunction with a result of Cheeger, Müller and Schrader, regarding the convergence of Lipschitz-Killing curvatures of piecewise-flat approximations of smooth Riemannian manifolds. A further application t…
In our previous paper [SIMAX 31 n.3 1491-1506(2010)], we studied the condition metric in the space of maximal rank matrices. Here, we show that this condition metric induces a Lipschitz-Riemann structure on that space. After investigating geodesics in such a nonsmooth structure, we show that the inverse of the smallest…
We use partial actions, as formalized by Exel, to construct various commensurating actions. We use this in the context of groups piecewise preserving a geometric structure, and we interpret the transfixing property of these commensurating actions as the existence of a model for which the group acts preserving the geome…
This article provides an attempt to extend concepts from the theory of Riemannian manifolds to piecewise linear spaces. In particular we propose an analogue of the Ricci tensor, which we give the name of an Einstein vector field. On a given set of piecewise linear spaces we define and discuss (normalized) Ricci flows. …
We show that all finite-dimensional resolvable generalized manifolds with the piecewise disjoint arc-disk property are codimension one manifold factors. We then show how the piecewise disjoint arc-disk property and other general position properties that detect codimension one manifold factors are related. We also note …
A piecewise flat Finsler metric on a triangulated surface M is a metric whose restriction to any triangle is a flat triangle in some Minkowski space with straight edges. One of the main purposes of this work is to study the properties of geodesics on a piecewise flat Finsler surface, especially when it meets a vertex…
Simplicial, piecewise-flat discretizations of manifolds provide a clear path towards curvature analysis on discrete geometries and for solutions of PDE's on manifolds of complex topologies. In this manuscript we review and expand on discrete exterior calculus methods using hybrid domains. We then analyze the geometric …
