Alpha Shape Topology of the Cosmic Web
—We study the topology of the Megaparsec Cosmic Web on the basis of the Alpha Shapes of the galaxy distribution. The simplicial complexes of the alpha shapes are used to determin...

On the complexity of deciding connectedness and computing Betti numbers of a complex algebraic variety
We extend the lower bounds on the complexity of computing Betti numbers proved in [6] to complex algebraic varieties. More precisely, we first prove that the problem of deciding ...

Computing Betti Numbers via Combinatorial Laplacians
We use the Laplacian and power method to compute Betti numbers of simplicial complexes. This has a number of advantages over other methods, both in theory and in practice. It requ...
