This structure allows us to give an explicit algorithm for their construction and to perform experiments comparing the runtime of different variants of the reduction algorithm. We further show that, after suitable edge and triangle subdivisions,\nthese strip examples remain worst-case and can be realized as clique complexes of filtered graphs, and hence as Vietoris–Rips complexes of finite point clouds for a sequence of scale parameters.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"ann-footer\">\n <span>Mathematics Research Center \u00b7 ASOIU, Baku<\/span>\n <a href=\"\/seminars\/\">All seminars \u2192<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seminar Announcement \u2014 Mathematics Research Center General Seminar Worst-case examples for the computation of persistent homology Erg\u00fcn Yal\u00e7\u0131n Bilkent University, T\u00fcrkiye Date April 21, 2026 Time 14:15 Location MRC @ UFAZ 308 Abstract Topological Data Analysis via persistent homology is a new emerging area of data analysis that uses methods from simplicial topology.

Our constructions are similar to the worst-case examples introduced by Morozov, but replace the single-triangle arrangement with a strip formed by base and fin triangles. This structure allows us to give an explicit algorithm for their construction and to perform experiments comparing the runtime of different variants of the reduction algorithm. We further show that, after suitable edge and triangle subdivisions,\nthese strip examples remain worst-case and can be realized as clique complexes of filtered graphs, and hence as Vietoris–Rips complexes of finite point clouds for a sequence of scale parameters.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n <div class=\"ann-footer\">\n <span>Mathematics Research Center \u00b7 ASOIU, Baku<\/span>\n <a href=\"\/seminars\/\">All seminars \u2192<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seminar Announcement \u2014 Mathematics Research Center General Seminar Worst-case examples for the computation of persistent homology Erg\u00fcn Yal\u00e7\u0131n Bilkent University, T\u00fcrkiye Date April 21, 2026 Time 14:15 Location MRC @ UFAZ 308 Abstract Topological Data Analysis via persistent homology is a new emerging area of data analysis that uses methods from simplicial topology.
