Some remarks on Betti numbers of random polygon spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polygon spaces such as M = {(u1, . . . , un) ∈ S1 × . . . S1,∑ni=1 liui = 0}/SO(2), or the three-dimensional analogs N play an important rôle in geometry and topology, and are also of interest in robotics where the li model the lengths of robot arms. When n is large, one can assume that each li is a positive real valued random variable, leading to a randommanifold. The complexity of such manifolds can be approached by computing Betti numbers, the Euler characteristics, or the related Poincaré polynomial. We study the average values of Betti numbers of dimension pn when pn → ∞ as n → ∞. We also focus on the limiting mean Poincaré polynomial, in two and three dimensions.We show that in two dimensions, the mean total Betti number behaves as the total Betti number associated with the equilateral manifold where li ≡ l̄. In three dimensions, these two quantities are not any more asymptotically equivalent. We also provide asymptotics for the Poincaré polynomials. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Random Struct.

Topology of random linkages
Betti numbers of configuration spaces of mechanical linkages (known also as polygon spaces) depend on a large number of parameters – the lengths of the bars of the linkage. Motivated by applications in topological robotics, statistical shape theory and molecular biology, we view these lengths as random variables and study asymptotic values of the average Betti numbers as the number of links n t...
متن کاملHomology of Planar Polygon Spaces
In this paper we study topology of the variety of closed planar n-gons with given side lengths l1, . . . , ln. The moduli space M` where ` = (l1, . . . , ln), encodes the shapes of all such n-gons. We describe the Betti numbers of the moduli spaces M` as functions of the length vector ` = (l1, . . . , ln). We also find sharp upper bounds on the sum of Betti numbers of M` depending only on the n...
متن کاملBetti numbers of random manifolds
We study mathematical expectations of Betti numbers of configuration spaces of planar linkages, viewing the lengths of the bars of the linkage as random variables. Our main result gives an explicit asymptotic formulae for these mathematical expectations for two distinct probability measures describing the statistics of the length vectors when the number of links tends to infinity. In the proof ...

متن کاملSome Remarks on Generalized Sequence Space of Bounded Variation of Sequences of Fuzzy Numbers
The idea of difference sequences of real (or complex) numbers was introducedby Ki zmaz cite{Kizmaz}. In this paper, using the difference operator and alacunary sequence, we introduce and examine the class of sequence $bv_{theta}left( Delta,mathcal{F}right) .$ We study some of its properties likesolidity, symmetricity, etc.
