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…

We study detection of collapse in high-dimensional point clouds, where mass concentrates near a lower-dimensional set relative to a non-collapsed geometry. We propose persistent homology-based test statistics under two well-studied…

In this paper, we build up a scaled homology theory, $lc$-homology, for metric spaces such that every metric space can be visually regarded as "locally contractible" with this newly-built homology. We check that $lc$-homology satisfies all…

Persistent homology is a common technique in topological data analysis providing geometrical and topological information about the sample space. All this information, known as topological features, is summarized in persistence diagrams, and…

We show that the traditional criterion for a simplex to belong to the Delaunay triangulation of a point set is equivalent to a criterion which is a priori weaker. The argument is quite general; as well as the classical Euclidean case, it…

A topological shape analysis is proposed and utilized to learn concepts that reflect shape commonalities. Our approach is two-fold: i) a spatial topology analysis of point cloud segment constellations within objects. Therein constellations…
