  2. 1. Arnold-type invariants of curves and wave fronts on surfaces

    Author : Vladimir Tchernov; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematics; Immersion of the circle; generic immersion; curves on surfaces; Legendrian immersion; Legendrian knot; wave fronts on surfaces; Whitney index; Maslov index; regular homotopy; perestroikas of plane curves and fronts; Arnold s basic invariants of plane curves and fronts; finite order invariants; Vassiliev invariants; homotopy groups of the space of curves on a surface; MATEMATIK; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : This thesis is devoted to the study of invariants of generic curves and wave fronts on surfaces. The invariants J± and St were axiomatically defined by Arnold as numerical characteristics of generic curves (immersions of the circle)on ℝ2 he introduced J± in the case of generic planar wave fronts.

    Abstract : Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to gain a deeper understanding of older people's view of health and care while dependent on community care. Furthermore to describe and compare formal caregivers' perceptions of quality of care, working conditions, competence, general health, and factors associated with quality of care from the caregivers' perspective.
