Abstract:Abstract. This paper presents a bundle theory for studying vector fields and their integral flows on polyhedra^ and applications.Every polyhedron has a tangent object in the category of simplicial bundles in much the same way as every smooth manifold has a tangent object in the category of smooth vector bundles. One can show that there is a correspondence between piecewise smooth flows on a polyhedron P and sections of the tangent object of P (i.e., vector fields on P); using this result one can prove existenc… Show more
