Optimal topological simplification of discrete functions on surfaces

U Bauer, C Lange, M Wardetzky - Discrete & computational geometry, 2012 - Springer
Given a function f on a surface and a tolerance δ> 0, we construct a function f δ subject to‖ f
δ− f‖∞≤ δ such that f δ has a minimum number of critical points. Our construction relies on …

Homological eigenvalues of graph -Laplacians

D Zhang - Journal of Topology and Analysis, 2023 - World Scientific
Inspired by persistent homology in topological data analysis, we introduce the homological
eigenvalues of the graph p-Laplacian Δ p, which allows us to analyze and classify non …

[HTML][HTML] Generalized morse theory of distance functions to surfaces for persistent homology

A Song, KM Yim, A Monod - Advances in Applied Mathematics, 2025 - Elsevier
This paper brings together three distinct theories with the goal of quantifying shape textures
with complex morphologies. Distance fields are central objects in shape representation …
