A heavy path in a weighted graph represents a notion of connectivity and ordering that goes beyond two nodes. The heaviest path of length l in the graph, simply means a sequence of nodes with edges between them, such that the sum of edge…

In topological data analysis, persistent homology is used to study the "shape of data". Persistent homology computations are completely characterized by a set of intervals called a bar code. It is often said that the long intervals…
