AbstractWe consider the setting of Reeb graphs of piecewise linear functions and study distances between them that are stable, meaning that functions which are similar in the supremum norm ought to have similar Reeb graphs. We define an edit distance for Reeb graphs and prove that it is stable and universal, meaning that it provides an upper bound to any other stable distance. In contrast, via a specific construction, we show that the interleaving distance and the functional distortion distance on Reeb graphs are not universal.

AbstractWe study the probabilistic convergence between the mapper graph and the Reeb graph of a topological space $${\mathbb {X}}$$ X equipped with a continuous function $$f: {\mathbb {X}}\rightarrow \mathbb {R}$$ f : X → R . We first give a categorification of the mapper graph and the Reeb graph by interpreting them in terms of cosheaves and stratified covers of the real line $$\mathbb {R}$$ R . We then introduce a variant of the classic mapper graph of Singh et al. (in: Eurographics symposium on point-based graphics, 2007), referred to as the enhanced mapper graph, and demonstrate that such a construction approximates the Reeb graph of $$({\mathbb {X}}, f)$$ ( X , f ) when it is applied to points randomly sampled from a probability density function concentrated on $$({\mathbb {X}}, f)$$ ( X , f ) . Our techniques are based on the interleaving distance of constructible cosheaves and topological estimation via kernel density estimates. Following Munch and Wang (In: 32nd international symposium on computational geometry, volume 51 of Leibniz international proceedings in informatics (LIPIcs), Dagstuhl, Germany, pp 53:1–53:16, 2016), we first show that the mapper graph of $$({\mathbb {X}}, f)$$ ( X , f ) , a constructible $$\mathbb {R}$$ R -space (with a fixed open cover), approximates the Reeb graph of the same space. We then construct an isomorphism between the mapper of $$({\mathbb {X}},f)$$ ( X , f ) to the mapper of a super-level set of a probability density function concentrated on $$({\mathbb {X}}, f)$$ ( X , f ) . Finally, building on the approach of Bobrowski et al. (Bernoulli 23(1):288–328, 2017b), we show that, with high probability, we can recover the mapper of the super-level set given a sufficiently large sample. Our work is the first to consider the mapper construction using the theory of cosheaves in a probabilistic setting. It is part of an ongoing effort to combine sheaf theory, probability, and statistics, to support topological data analysis with random data.

Abstract We show that computing the interleaving distance between two multi-graded persistence modules is NP-hard. More precisely, we show that deciding whether two modules are 1-interleaved is NP-complete, already for bigraded, interval decomposable modules. Our proof is based on previous work showing that a constrained matrix invertibility problem can be reduced to the interleaving distance computation of a special type of persistence modules. We show that this matrix invertibility problem is NP-complete. We also give a slight improvement in the above reduction, showing that also the approximation of the interleaving distance is NP-hard for any approximation factor smaller than 3. Additionally, we obtain corresponding hardness results for the case that the modules are indecomposable, and in the setting of one-sided stability. Furthermore, we show that checking for injections (resp. surjections) between persistence modules is NP-hard. In conjunction with earlier results from computational algebra this gives a complete characterization of the computational complexity of one-sided stability. Lastly, we show that it is in general NP-hard to approximate distances induced by noise systems within a factor of 2.

Unidirectional interleaving painting is presented for robot to spray long and narrow duct. It adopts a same overlapping distance and only two seed paths in the same direction which are used in turn.To optimize robot trajectory for spray painting, uniformity model of unidirectional interleaving painting based on parabolic deposition model and thickness variance is built, and coating uniformity is studied. Non-dimensional calculation results show that overlapping distance and interleaving distance are the main influencing factors of coating uniformity. The value of thickness deviation is not greater than 0.000 9 in four areas, two of which should be chosen to plan painting path for better coating uniformity. The comparison experiment confirms that interleaving painting can improve coating uniformity.
