title = "Certified computation of planar Morse-Smale complexes",
abstract = "The Morse-Smale complex is an important tool for global topological analysis in various problems of computational geometry and topology. Algorithms for Morse-Smale complexes have been presented in case of piecewise linear manifolds [9]. However, previous research in this field does not provide certified methods in the case of smooth functions. In the current paper we use interval arithmetic to compute a topologically correct approximation of Morse-Smale complex of smooth functions of two variables. The algorithm can also compute geometrically close Morse-Smale complex.",
