The paper studies the relation between critical simplices and persistence diagrams of the \v{C}ech filtration. We show that adding a critical $k$-simplex into the filtration corresponds either to a point in the $k$th persistence diagram or…

We solve the problem of minimizing the number of critical points among all functions on a surface within a prescribed distance {\delta} from a given input function. The result is achieved by establishing a connection between discrete Morse…

Persistent homology has been widely used to study the topology of point clouds in $\mathbb{R}^n$. Standard approaches are very sensitive to outliers, and their computational complexity depends badly on the number of data points. In this…
