Homological computations

What is the fundamental domain of the action? In case you can easily create a cubical or simplicial decomposition of this region, there is tons of software out there to help you with the grunt-work. …

Computer-aided homology computations

I realize that this is an old question and it is likely that the OP has moved on, but let me summarize the state-of-the-art as it exists now. The given sizes (18 million by 15 million) are pretty h …

Inference using Topological Data Analysis: Is it worth it for a regular statistician to lear...

Let me answer the broad question first: depending on what you actually want to do, the barcode-type invariants extracted by topological data analysis could be quite useful in your work. And it doesn't …
