Polyhedral expansions of compacta associated to finite approximations (Q2136588)

In this paper the author connects shape theory and topological persistence and shows how to use inverse sequences to compute some properties related to the Inverse Persistence (introduced in [\textit{D. Mondéjar Ruiz} and \textit{M. A. Morón}, Rev. Mat. Complut. 34, No. 2, 559--584 (2021; Zbl 1477.54016)]). First he recalls the main definitions and tools used throughout the equations used subsequently on polyhedra, finite spaces, hyperspaces, shape theory, and the shape category. Some inverse sequences of polyhedra based on finite approximations of compact metric spaces are used to capture the shape type of the original space. The main result of the paper is: ``Every PAS (polyhedral approximative sequence) of a compact metric space \(X\) is an HPol-expansion of \(X\)''. The author also presents a computable example with an explicit construction of a polyhedral approximative sequence of the Hawaiian earring; he also computes all the elements previously defined in the paper.
