A-infinity Persistence (1403.2395v3)
Published 10 Mar 2014 in math.AT, cs.CG, and cs.CV
Abstract: We introduce and study A-infinity persistence of a given homology filtration of topological spaces. This is a family, one for each n > 0, of homological invariants which provide information not readily available by the (persistent) Betti numbers of the given filtration. This may help to detect noise, not just in the simplicial structure of the filtration but in further geometrical properties in which the higher codiagonals of the A-infinity structure are translated. Based in the classification of zigzag modules, a characterization of the A-infinity persistence in terms of its associated barcode is given.
