Morse Theory for Filtrations and Efficient Computation of Persistent Homology
We introduce an efficient preprocessing algorithm to reduce the number of cells in a filtered cell complex while preserving its persistent homology groups. The technique is based on an extension of combinatorial Morse theory from complexes to filtrations.
متن کاملComputing homology and persistent homology using iterated Morse decomposition
In this paper we present a new approach to computing homology (with field coefficients) and persistent homology. We use concepts from discrete Morse theory, to provide an algorithm which can be expressed solely in terms of simple graph theoretical operations. We use iterated Morse decomposition, which allows us to sidetrack many problems related to the standard discrete Morse theory. In particu...
متن کاملDiscrete morse gradient fields with stable matching
Forman’s discrete Morse theory for cell complexes essentially relies on a discrete analogue of gradient fields, defined as an acyclic matching between incident cells. One can easily extract from this object several pieces of topological and geometrical information of a cell complex such as homology or the Morse-Smale decomposition. Most constructions of this discrete gradient are based on some ...
متن کاملDiscrete Morse Theoretic Algorithms for Computing Homology of Complexes and Maps
We provide explicit and efficient reduction algorithms based on discrete Morse theory to simplify homology computation for a very general class of complexes. A set-valued map of top-dimensional cells between such complexes is a natural discrete approximation of an underlying (and possibly unknown) continuous function, especially when the evaluation of that function is subject to measurement err...

Morse theory is a fundamental tool for analyzing the geometry and topology of smooth manifolds. This tool was translated by Forman to discrete structures such as cell complexes, by using discrete Morse functions or equivalently gradient vector f...
