Regular / singular

Hi,

I'm not sure about the preposition that goes with regular / singular adjectives. These adjectives characterize a function at points or on the surface.

For example:

1. "Also our mapping is regular on the whole space, or more specifically at the center points on the object surface,..."

2. "An implication of the mapping singularity on the cage is that..."

The cage in the second example is a surface.

Thanks

Both sentences sound okay to me, but I'm not familiar with this highly technical field. What you'd need to double check is the way the technical literature in this field is written. If, in this particular context, a mapping is regular on a space - rather than onto a space, or in a space, etc.

That's the thing, I tried to google it, but most references relate to function singularity at points. I couldn't find function singularity/regularity with relation to space or surface.
