In this paper, we provide a construction of the Deligne-Du Bois complex of $X$ in terms of the Deligne-Du Bois complexes of $Y,\widetilde{Y}$ and $E$. In the case that $Y$ is smooth and $\pi$ is a log resolution of $X$ in $Y$, this will provide a hyperresolution-free construction of $\underline{\Omega}^\bullet_X$ and its graded pieces.application/pdfen-USnoneMathematicsMathematicsThesis
