The Discrete Morse Theory of Forman appeared to be useful for providing filtration-preserving reductions of complexes in the study of persistent homology. So far, the algorithms computing discrete Morse matchings have only been used for…
Inspired by the works of Forman on discrete Morse theory, which is a combinatorial adaptation to cell complexes of classical Morse theory on manifolds, we introduce a discrete analogue of the stratified Morse theory of Goresky and…
A hypergraph can be obtained from a simplicial complex by deleting some non-maximal simplices. In this paper, we study the embedded homology as well as the homology of the (lower-)associated simplicial complexes for hypergraphs. We…
We develop a discrete Morse theory for open simplicial complexes $K=X\setminus T$ where $X$ is a simplicial complex and $T$ a subcomplex of $X$. A discrete Morse function $f$ on $K$ gives rise to a discrete Morse function on the order…
We consider the problem of efficiently computing a discrete Morse complex on simplicial complexes of arbitrary dimension and very large size. Based on a common graph-based formalism, we analyze existing data structures for simplicial…
The analytic implicit function theorem is extended. The function f of the theorem is integrated with respect to the dependent variable of the implicit function. A geometrical interpretation is given for the sub-geometry of the integral…
An algorithm is provided for performing polynomial feature expansions that both operates on and produces compressed sparse row (CSR) matrices. Previously, no such algorithm existed, and performing polynomial expansions on CSR matrices…
1) We introduce random discrete Morse theory as a computational scheme to measure the complicatedness of a triangulation. The idea is to try to quantify the frequence of discrete Morse matchings with a certain number of critical cells. Our…
We study transformations between discrete Morse functions on a finite simplicial complex via birth-death transitions--elementary chain maps between discrete Morse complexes that either create or cancel pairs of critical simplices. We prove…
Given a smooth function f on R^n and a submanifold M, we prove that the set of diagonal quadratic forms q such that the restriction of f+q to M is Morse is a dense set (in the n-dimensional space of diagonal quadratic forms). The standard…
We rely on the framework of Morse sequences to enable the direct computation of gradient vector fields on simplicial complexes. A Morse sequence is a filtration from a subcomplex $L$ to a complex $K$ via elementary expansions and fillings,…
In this paper, we study some useful properties of persistent pairs in a discrete Morse function on a simplicial complex $K$. In case of $\dim K=1$ (i.e., a graph), by using the properties, we characterize strongly connectedness of critical…
In this work, we introduce a combinatorial-geometric model for the space of discrete Morse functions on any CW complex $X$. We relate this version of a space of discrete Morse functions to the space of cellular filtrations of $X$ and…
Using the notion of contiguity of simplicial maps, we adapt Farber's topological complexity to the realm of simplicial complexes. We show that, for a finite simplicial complex $K$, our discretized concept recovers the topological complexity…
We suggest an efficient algorithm for the selection of sparse subsets of a set of influence for the numerical discretization of differential operators on irregular nodes with polynomial consistency of a given order with the help of the QR…
In this work we use the tensorial language developed in [8] and [9] to differentiate functions of eigenvalues of symmetric matrices. We describe the formulae for the k-th derivative of such functions in two cases. The first case concerns…
The purpose of this work is to develop a version of Forman's discrete Morse theory for simplicial complexes, based on internal strong collapses. Classical discrete Morse theory can be viewed as a generalization of Whitehead's collapses,…
We present new algorithms that efficiently approximate the hypergeometric function of a matrix argument through its expansion as a series of Jack functions. Our algorithms exploit the combinatorial properties of the Jack function, and have…
In the case of smooth manifolds, we use Forman's discrete Morse theory to realize combinatorially any Thom-Smale complex coming from a smooth Morse function by a couple triangulation-discrete Morse function. As an application, we prove that…
This paper introduces an efficient algorithm for persistence diagram computation, given an input piecewise linear scalar field $f$ defined on a $d$-dimensional simplicial complex $K$, with $d \leq 3$. Our work revisits the seminal algorithm…
