Dec 1, 2018 at 21:08 comment added alesia web.math.ku.dk/~moller/students/brian_brost.pdf seems to have a good state of the art (section 7)
Dec 1, 2018 at 20:21 comment added apg Do you recommend a reference I can read?
Dec 1, 2018 at 19:03 comment added alesia yes, that's right
Dec 1, 2018 at 18:55 comment added apg So you get the exact Betti numbers? And it can work on rapidly expanding complexes? Just there is no guarantee it will reduce the computation time effectively.
Dec 1, 2018 at 18:00 comment added alesia Actually the volume condition I was mentioning was for a different algorithm that approximates Betti numbers. It shouldn't affect the complex reduction algorithms
Dec 1, 2018 at 17:45 comment added apg So it may not have too much of an effect, if for example the volume expands from a point rapidly
Dec 1, 2018 at 17:19 comment added alesia yes, these methods reduce the size of the complex without changing the Betti numbers. They are heuristics though, so it's hard to predict how well they will work on a given example.
Dec 1, 2018 at 13:25 comment added apg So you can reduce the computation time, without losing information? Like lossless compression?
Nov 28, 2018 at 18:55 comment added alesia Those reduction methods typically won't change the homotopy type, so they'll give you exact Betti numbers in fact

Nov 28, 2018 at 17:41 comment added apg OK I will look at this "lossy compression" idea.
