When the ground ring is a field, the notion of algebraic topological model (AT-model) is a useful tool for computing (co)homology, representative (co)cycles of (co)homology generators and the cup product on cohomology of nD digital images as well as for controlling topological information when the image suffers local changes [6, 7, 9]. In this paper, we formalize the notion of λ-AT-model (λ bei...
