Persistent homology in \(\ell_\infty\) metric (Q2064022): Difference between revisions

Based on the \(l_{\infty}\)-metric, the paper examines a number of classical complexes, including the Čech, Vietoris-Rips, and Alpha complexes. ``We define two new families of flag complexes, the Alpha flag and Minibox complexes, and prove their equivalence to Čech complexes in homological degrees zero and one. Moreover, we provide algorithms for finding Minibox edges of two, three, and higher-dimensional points.'' Besides, using this algorithm, the paper presents computational experiments on random points. This approach can be useful to compute persistent homology of a complex.
