A Graph-Matching Formulation of the Interleaving Distance between Merge Trees

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this work we study the interleaving distance between merge trees from a combinatorial point of view. We use a particular type of matching between trees to obtain a novel formulation of the distance. With such formulation, we tackle the problem of approximating the interleaving distance by solving linear integer optimization problems in a recursive and dynamical fashion, obtaining lower and upper bounds. We implement those algorithms to compare the outputs with another approximation procedure presented by other authors. We believe that further research in this direction could lead to faster algorithms to compute the distance and novel theoretical developments on the topic.
