Abstract

A general and direct method for computing the Betti numbers of a finite simplicial complex in S d is given. This method is complete for d ⩽ 3, where versions of this method run in time O( nα( n)) and O( n), n the number of simplices. An implementation of the algorithm is applied to alpha shapes, which is a novel geometric modeling tool.
