چکیده
This course will explain the fundamental concepts of topology for smooth manifolds. After developing the fundamental tool of transversality theory (we prove Sard’s theorem) we will prove the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem, the Brouwer No Retraction Theorem, and the Whitney Embedding Theorem, and the “27 lines on a cubic surface” using this tool. Then we cover Morse Theory and use it to classify 2-manifolds and prove the Bott Periodicity Theorem and Lefschetz Hyperplane Theorem. If time permits we will explain Smale’s proof of the higher dimensional Poincaré Conjecture.

A note on approximation conditions, standard triangularizability and a power set topology
The main result of this article is that for collections of entry-wise non-negative matrices the property of possessing a standard triangularization is stable under approximation. The methodology introduced to prove this result allows us to offer quick proofs of the corresponding results of [B. R. Yahaghi, Near triangularizability implies triangularizability, Canad. Math. Bull. 47, (2004), no. 2...
متن کاملUniform Continuity of the Value of Zero-Sum Games with Differential Information
We establish uniform continuity of the value for zero-sum games with differential information, when the distance between changing information fields of each player is measured by the Boylan pseudometric. We also show that the optimal strategy correspondence is upper semicontinuous when the information fields of players change (even with the weak topology on players’ strategy sets), and is appro...
متن کاملThe Tau-Collocation Method for Solving Nonlinear Integro-Differential Equations and Application of a Population Model
This paper presents a computational technique that called Tau-collocation method for the developed solution of non-linear integro-differential equations which involves a population model. To do this, the nonlinear integro-differential equations are transformed into a system of linear algebraic equations in matrix form without interpolation of non-poly-nomial terms of equations. Then, using coll...
متن کاملInternal Topology on MI-groups
An MI-group is an algebraic structure based on a generalization of the concept of a monoid that satisfies the cancellation laws and is endowed with an invertible anti-automorphism representing inversion. In this paper, a topology is defined on an MI-group $G$ under which $G$ is a topological MI-group. Then we will identify open, discrete and compact MI-subgroups. The connected components of th...
