The study of differentiable manifolds and differentiable maps. One fundamental problem is that of classifying manifolds up to diffeomorphism. Differential topology is what Poincaré understood as topology or “analysis situs”.

$\varepsilon$-covering number after diffeomorphism
(Since the OP appears satisfied with my comment, I am reproducing it here as an answer.)
Fix $\epsilon > 0$. Since $\phi$ is $\mathscr{C}^1$, it must also be Lipschitz-continuous on compact subsets o …

Analogue of singularity theory in other categories
A brief account of PL Morse theory has been requested by Andras in the comments, so I am writing it down here. Note that this does not address the main question on PL singularity theory. Note also tha …

Classifying smooth embeddings which yield Morse functions
Let $\mu:M \to \mathbb{R}$ be a fixed surjective smooth function on a smooth manifold $M$. Let $N$ be a smooth compact manifold that embeds smoothly into $M$ via $\iota:N \to M$.
What conditions o …

Lipschitz Approximation to a PW Smooth Map
Here is Ryan Budney's answer from the comments, I'm copying it here so that this question does not re-appear on the front page as unanswered.
Let $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ be the absolute value f …

Measuring almost-critical values of smooth functions.
Consider a compact sub-manifold $X \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ of Euclidean space and let $f:X \to \mathbb{R}$ be any smooth function. Recall that $x \in X$ is a critical point of $f$ if the gradient $\nabl …

Good books on Geometric Theory of Dynamical Systems
Pick up (almost) anything by Ethan Akin. I particularly recommend "The General Topology of Dynamical Systems" available on Amazon. Although it is somewhat older than what you indicate you are looking …

Can we define Whitney stratification algebraically?
There is a purely algebraic characterisation of Condition (B) due to Le and Teissier, see Proposition 1.3.8 of the paper
