Simplicial homologyIn algebraic topology, simplicial homology is the sequence of homology groups of a simplicial complex. It formalizes the idea of the number of holes of a given dimension in the complex. This generalizes the number of connected components (the case of dimension 0). Simplicial homology arose as a way to study topological spaces whose building blocks are n-simplices, the n-dimensional analogs of triangles. This includes a point (0-simplex), a line segment (1-simplex), a triangle (2-simplex) and a tetrahedron (3-simplex).
Persistent homologySee homology for an introduction to the notation. Persistent homology is a method for computing topological features of a space at different spatial resolutions. More persistent features are detected over a wide range of spatial scales and are deemed more likely to represent true features of the underlying space rather than artifacts of sampling, noise, or particular choice of parameters. To find the persistent homology of a space, the space must first be represented as a simplicial complex.
Persistence moduleA persistence module is a mathematical structure in persistent homology and topological data analysis that formally captures the persistence of topological features of an object across a range of scale parameters. A persistence module often consists of a collection of homology groups (or vector spaces if using field coefficients) corresponding to a filtration of topological spaces, and a collection of linear maps induced by the inclusions of the filtration.
Homologie (mathématiques)En mathématiques, l'homologie est une manière générale d'associer une séquence d'objets algébriques tels que des groupes abéliens ou des modules à d'autres objets mathématiques tels que des espaces topologiques. Les groupes d'homologie ont été définis à l'origine dans la topologie algébrique. Des constructions similaires sont disponibles dans beaucoup d'autres contextes, tels que l'algèbre abstraite, les groupes, les algèbres de Lie, la théorie de Galois et la géométrie algébrique.
