چکیده

This article introduces an algorithm to compute the persistent homology of a filtered complex with various coefficient fields in a single matrix reduction. The algorithm is output-sensitive in the total number of distinct persistent homological features in the diagrams for the different coefficient fields. This computation allows us to infer the prime divisors of the torsion coefficients of the integral homology groups of the topological space at any scale, hence furnishing a more informative description of topology than persistence in a single coefficient field. We provide theoretical complexity analysis as well as detailed experimental results. The code is part of the Gudhi library, and is available at [8].

2 . 2 Simplicial Complexes

We study the homology of a filtered d-dimensional simplicial complex K as a single algebraic entity and establish a correspondence that provides a simple description over fields. Our analysis enables us to derive a natural algorithm for computing persistent homology over an arbitrary field in any dimension. Our study also implies the lack of a simple classification over non-fields. Instead, we ...

Computing 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...

Matroid Filtrations and Computational Persistent Homology

This technical report introduces a novel approach to efficient computation in homological algebra over fields, with particular emphasis on computing the persistent homology of a filtered topological cell complex. The algorithms here presented rely on a novel relationship between discrete Morse theory, matroid theory, and classical matrix factorizations. We provide background, detail the algorit...

Defining and computing persistent Z-homology in the general case

By general case we mean methods able to process simplicial sets and chain complexes not of finite type. A filtration of the object to be studied is the heart of both subjects persistent homology and spectral sequences. In this paper we present the complete relation between them, both from theoretical and computational points of view. One of the main contributions of this paper is the observatio...
