Optimal Topological Simplification of Discrete Functions on Surfaces

Optimal Topological Simplification of Discrete Functions on Surfaces

We solve the problem of minimizing the number of critical points among all functions on a surface within a prescribed distance {\delta} from a given input function. The result is achieved by establishing a connection between discrete Morse theory and persistent homology. Our method completely removes homological noise with persistence …
