An invitation to the Euler characteristic transform

E Munch - The American Mathematical Monthly, 2025 - Taylor & Francis
The Euler characteristic transform (ECT) is a simple to define yet powerful representation of
shape. The idea is to encode an embedded shape by tracking how the Euler characteristic …

Discrete Level Set Persistence for Finite Discrete Functions

R Belton, G Essl - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.17794, 2025 - arxiv.org
We study sublevel set and superlevel set persistent homology on discrete functions through
the perspective of finite ordered sets of both linearly ordered and cyclically ordered domains …

Topological data analysis of organoids
