We introduce a skeletal structure in , which is an - dimensional Whitney stratified set on which is defined a multivalued “radial vector field” . This is an extension of notion of the Blum medial axis of a region in with generic smooth boundary. For such a skeletal structure there is defined an “associated boundary” . We introduce geometric invariants of the radial vector field on and a “radial flow” from to . Together these allow us to provide sufficient numerical conditions...
