Abstract
We introduce topological conditions on a broad class of functionals that ensure that the persistent homology modules of their associated sublevel set filtration admit persistence diagrams, which, in particular, implies that they satisfy generalized Morse inequalities. We illustrate the applicability of these results by recasting the original proof of the Unstable Minimal Surface Theorem given by Morse and Tompkins in a modern and rigorous framework.
期刊介绍：
With traditional boundaries between various specialized fields of mathematics becoming less and less visible, Communications in Contemporary Mathematics (CCM) presents the forefront of research in the fields of: Algebra, Analysis, Applied Mathematics, Dynamical Systems, Geometry, Mathematical Physics, Number Theory, Partial Differential Equations and Topology, among others. It provides a forum to stimulate interactions between different areas. Both original research papers and expository articles will be published.
