0-dimensional persistent homology is known, from a computational point of view, as the easy case. Indeed, given a list of $n$ edges in non-decreasing order of filtration value, one only needs a union-find data structure to keep track of the…

Persistent homology is a multiscale method for analyzing the shape of sets and functions from point cloud data arising from an unknown distribution supported on those sets. When the size of the sample is large, direct computation of the…

Topological Data Analysis (TDA) is a novel statistical technique, particularly powerful for the analysis of large and high dimensional data sets. Much of TDA is based on the tool of persistent homology, represented visually via persistence…
