Persistence modules are representations of products of totally ordered sets in the category of vector spaces. They appear naturally in the representation theory of algebras, but in recent years they have also found applications in other…
We study pointwise free and finitely-generated persistence modules over a principal ideal domain, indexed by a (possibly infinite) totally-ordered poset category. We show that such persistence modules admit interval decompositions if and…
We introduce persistence matching diagrams induced by set mappings of metric spaces, based on 0-persistent homology of Vietoris-Rips filtrations. Also, we present a geometric definition of the persistence matching diagram that is more…
The model of landscape erosion, introduced in [{\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 80}: 4349 (1998); {\it J. Stat. Phys.} {\bf 93}: 477 (1998)] and modified in [{\it Theor. Math. Phys.} - in press; arXiv:1602.00432], is advected by anisotropic…
It is known that for a variety of choices of metrics, including the standard bottleneck distance, the space of persistence diagrams admits geodesics. Typically these existence results produce geodesics that have the form of a convex…
We introduce persistence spheres, a novel functional representation of persistence diagrams. Unlike existing embeddings (such as persistence images, landscapes, or kernel methods), persistence spheres provide a bi-continuous mapping: they…
Delay-coordinate mapping is an effective and widely used technique for reconstructing and analyzing the dynamics of a nonlinear system based on time-series outputs. The efficacy of delay-coordinate mapping has long been supported by Takens'…
We develop persistent homology in the setting of filtrations of (Cech) closure spaces. Examples of filtrations of closure spaces include metric spaces, weighted graphs, weighted directed graphs, and filtrations of topological spaces. We use…
The use of topological persistence in contemporary data analysis has provided considerable impetus for investigations into the geometric and functional-analytic structure of the space of persistence modules. In this paper, we isolate a…
We can approximate a continuous self-map $f$ of a compact metric space by discretizing the space into a grid. Through either the map itself or a time series, $f$ induces a multivalued grid map $\mathcal F$. The dynamical properties of…
We characterize structures such as monotonicity, convexity, and modality in smooth regression curves using persistent homology. Persistent homology is a key tool in topological data analysis that detects higher-dimensional topological…
Persistence modules have a natural home in the setting of stratified spaces and constructible cosheaves. In this article, we first give explicit constructible cosheaves for common data-motivated persistence modules, namely, for modules that…
Since persistence diagrams do not admit an inner product structure, a map into a Hilbert space is needed in order to use kernel methods. It is natural to ask if such maps necessarily distort the metric on persistence diagrams. We show that…
In many robotics applications, it is necessary to compute not only the distance between the robot and the environment, but also its derivative - for example, when using control barrier functions. However, since the traditional Euclidean…
A rigidity theory is developed for frameworks in a metric space with two types of distance constraints. Mixed sparsity graph characterisations are obtained for the infinitesimal and continuous rigidity of completely regular bar-joint…
Visualization in the emerging field of topological data analysis has progressed from persistence barcodes and persistence diagrams to display of two-parameter persistent homology. Although persistence barcodes and diagrams have permitted…
The Fr\'echet mean is an important statistical summary and measure of centrality of data; it has been defined and studied for persistent homology captured by persistence diagrams. However, the complicated geometry of the space of…
We give a self-contained treatment of the theory of persistence modules indexed over the real line. We give new proofs of the standard results. Persistence diagrams are constructed using measure theory. Linear algebra lemmas are simplified…
In this paper we define a novel edit distance for merge trees, which we argue to be suitable for a good range of applications. Relying also on some technical results contained in other works, we investigate its stability properties, which…
