We define the robustness of a level set homology class of a function f : X R as the magnitude of a perturbation necessary to kill the class. Casting this notion into a group theor...

In this paper, we initiate a study of shape description and classification via the application of persistent homology to tangential constructions on geometric objects. Our techniq...

We present algorithms for constructing a hierarchy of increasingly coarse Morse complexes that decompose a piecewise linear 2-manifold. While Morse complexes are defined only in t...
Using ideas from persistent homology, the robustness of a level set of a real-valued function is defined in terms of the magnitude of the perturbation necessary to kill the classe...

The theory of intersection homology was developed to study the singularities of a topologically stratified space. This paper incorporates this theory into the already developed f...
