Abstract
This paper introduces piecewise-differentiable () manifolds according to a unified general framework that also applies to nonsmooth Lipschitz manifolds and smooth manifolds. We present definitions of nonsmooth manifolds and embedded submanifolds for abstract sets as well as for subsets of , and explore the relationships between them. The and Lipschitz Rank Theorems from Part 1 of this series, in terms of the Clarke Jacobian and B-subdifferential generalized derivative sets, are used to characterize level sets of functions between nonsmooth manifolds as embedded submanifolds. We illustrate how the Level Set Theorems developed in this paper can be applied to functions on Euclidean space, including a piecewise-differentiable process model for distillation columns.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
