Abstract
Amplitudes in open topological string theory may be described completely by certain A-infinity-categories. We detail a general construction of all cyclic minimal models for a given A-infinity-algebra and apply this result to the case of N=2 supersymmetric Landau-Ginzburg models. This allows to solve the tree-level theory in the sense that all amplitudes and hence the effective superpotential can be computed algorithmically. Furthermore, the construction provides a novel derivation of the topological metric of such models.
