Abstract

We formalize a notion of topological simplification within the framework of a filtration, which is the history of a growing complex. We classify a topological change that happens during growth as either a feature or noise depending on its lifetime or persistence within the filtration. We give fast algorithms for computing persistence and experimental evidence for their speed and utility.
