The \v{C}ech and Rips constructions of persistent homology are stable with respect to perturbations of the input data. However, neither is robust to outliers, and both can be insensitive to topological structure of high-density regions of…

Persistent homology probes topological properties from point clouds and functions. By looking at multiple scales simultaneously, one can record the births and deaths of topological features as the scale varies. In this paper we use a…

Hypergraph data appear and are hidden in many places in the modern age. They are data structure that can be used to model many real data examples since their structures contain information about higher order relations among data points. One…
