On limit theorems for persistent Betti numbers from dependent data (Q2048133)

This paper is about very interesting Betti numbers. The aim of this paper is to provide two advances in the study of persistent Betti numbers in the context of time series and random fields. On the one hand, the author studies the large sample behavior of the expectation of persistent Betti numbers obtained from time series and random fields. On the other hand, he establishes an exponential inequality and gives strong laws of large numbers for persistent Betti numbers, which are not exclusively derived from point clouds.
