There are two rather distinct approaches to Morse theory nowadays: smooth and discrete. We propose to study a real valued function by assembling all associated sections in a topological category. From this point of view, Reeb functions on stratified spaces are introduced, including both smooth and combinatorial examples. As a consequence of the simplicial approach taken, the theory comes with a spectral sequence for computing (generalized) homology. We also model the homotopy type of Reeb…

A natural construction for smoothing a Reeb graph to reduce its topological complexity is obtained and an ‘interleaving’ distance is defined which is stable under the perturbation of a function.

This is proved by constructing directly, for each connected simplicial complex X, a monoid M such that BM = X. The monoid M has one generator for each simplex (+ outside of a maximal tree in X. This

A short proof is given of a result of J.W. Morgan and I. Morrison that describes the fundamental group of the Hawaiian earring, which is a countably infinite union of circles that are all tangent to a single line at the same point.

The method, called Mapper, is based on the idea of partial clustering of the data guided by a set of functions defined on the data, and is not dependent on any particular clustering algorithm, i.e. any clustering algorithms may be used with Mapper.
