Necessary conditions for discontinuities of multidimensional persistent Betti numbers

چکیده
Topological persistence has proven to be a promising framework for dealing with problems concerning the analysis of data. In this context, it was originally introduced by taking into account 1-dimensional properties of data, modeled by real-valued functions. More recently, topological persistence has been generalized to consider multidimensional properties of data, coded by vector-valued functions. This extension enables the study of multidimensional persistent Betti numbers, which provide a representation of data based on the properties under examination. In this contribution we establish a new link between multidimensional topological persistence and Pareto optimality, proving that discontinuities of multidimensional persistent Betti numbers are necessarily pseudocritical or special values of the considered functions.

Estimating Multidimensional Persistent Homology Through a Finite Sampling
An exact computation of the persistent Betti numbers of a submanifold X of a Euclidean space is possible only in a theoretical setting. In practical situations, only a finite sample of X is available. We show that, under suitable density conditions, it is possible to estimate the multidimensional persistent Betti numbers of X from the ones of a union of balls centered on the sample points; this...
متن کاملBetti numbers in multidimensional persistent homology are stable functions
Multidimensional persistence mostly studies topological features of shapes by analyzing the lower level sets of vector-valued functions, called filtering functions. As is well known, in the case of scalar-valued filtering functions, persistent homology groups can be studied through their persistent Betti numbers, i.e. the dimensions of the images of the homomorphisms induced by the inclusions o...
متن کاملA Study of Monodromy in the Computation of Multidimensional Persistence
The computation of multidimensional persistent Betti numbers for a sublevel filtration on a suitable topological space equipped with a R-valued continuous filtering function can be reduced to the problem of computing persistent Betti numbers for a parameterized family of one-dimensional filtering functions. A notion of continuity for points in persistence diagrams exists over this parameter spa...
متن کاملStability of persistence spaces of vector-valued continuous functions
Multidimensional persistence modules do not admit a concise representation analogous to that provided by persistence diagrams for real-valued functions. However, there is no obstruction for multidimensional persistent Betti numbers to admit one. Therefore, it is reasonable to look for a generalization of persistence diagrams concerning those properties that are related only to persistent Betti ...
متن کاملThe Coherent Matching Distance in 2D Persistent Homology
Comparison between multidimensional persistent Betti numbers is often based on the multidimensional matching distance. While this metric is rather simple to define and compute by considering a suitable family of filtering functions associated with lines having a positive slope, it has two main drawbacks. First, it forgets the natural link between the homological properties of filtrations associ...
