Higher-dimensional rewriting systems are tools to analyse the structure of formally reducing terms to normal forms, as well as comparing the different reduction paths that lead to those normal forms. This higher structure can be captured by…

This short note introduces the harmonic indel distance (HID), a new distance between strings where the cost of an insertion or deletion is inversely proportional to the string length. We present a closed-form formula and show that the HID…

In this article we establish two fundamental results for the sublevel set persistent homology for stationary processes indexed by the positive integers. The first is a strong law of large numbers for the persistence diagram (treated as a…

We define the notion of {\em classifying space} of a topological stack and show that every topological stack \X has a classifying space X which is a topological space well-defined up to weak homotopy equivalence. Under a certain…

This paper is a generalization of arXiv:0810.0808. We develop the de Rham homotopy theory of not necessarily nilpotent spaces, using closed dg-categories and equivariant dg-algebras. We see these two algebraic objects correspond in a…

We develop a stability theory for minimal projective resolutions of $\mathbf{P}$-modules, where $\mathbf{P}$ is a finite metric poset. We use the G\"ulen-McCleary distance on $\mathbf{P}$-modules together with a new complex matching…

We introduce a new measure of distance between datasets, based on vineyards from topological data analysis, which we call the vineyard distance. Vineyard distance measures the extent of topological change along an interpolation from one…

In Persistent Homology and Topology, filtrations are usually given by introducing an ordered collection of sets or a continuous function from a topological space to $\R^n$. A natural question arises, whether these approaches are equivalent…

This series explores a new notion of T-homotopy equivalence of flows. The new definition involves embeddings of finite bounded posets preserving the bottom and the top elements and the associated cofibrations of flows. In this fourth part,…

The notions of distance and similarity play a key role in many machine learning approaches, and artificial intelligence (AI) in general, since they can serve as an organizing principle by which individuals classify objects, form concepts…

The stability of persistence diagrams is among the most important results in applied and computational topology. Most results in the literature phrase stability in terms of the bottleneck distance between diagrams and the $\infty$-norm of…

This article studies the robust version of persistent homology based on trimming methodology to capture the geometric feature through support of the data in presence of outliers. Precisely speaking, the proposed methodology works when the…

For digital images, there is an established homotopy equivalence relation which parallels that of classical topology. Many classical homotopy equivalence invariants, such as the Euler characteristic and the homology groups, do not remain…

The dynamic time warping (dtw) distance fails to satisfy the triangle inequality and the identity of indiscernibles. As a consequence, the dtw-distance is not warping-invariant, which in turn results in peculiarities in data mining…
