We describe algorithms for finding harmonic cochains, an essential ingredient for solving elliptic partial differential equations in exterior calculus. Harmonic cochains are also useful in computational topology and computer graphics. We focus on finding harmonic cochains cohomologous to a given cocycle. Amongst other things, this allows localization near topological features of interest. We derive a weighted least squares method by proving a discrete Hodge-deRham theorem on the isomorphism between the space of harmonic cochains and cohomology. The solution obtained either satisfies the Whitney form finite element exterior calculus equations or the discrete exterior calculus equations for harmonic cochains, depending on the discrete Hodge star used.
Despite the obvious similarities between the metrics used in topological data analysis and those of optimal transport, an optimal-transport based formalism to study persistence diagrams and similar topological descriptors has yet to come. In this art
We show that determining the crossing number of a link is NP-hard. For some weaker notions of link equivalence, we also show NP-completeness.
For a harmonic map $u:M^3to S^1$ on a closed, oriented $3$--manifold, we establish the identity $$2pi int_{thetain S^1}chi(Sigma_{theta})geq frac{1}{2}int_{thetain S^1}int_{Sigma_{theta}}(|du|^{-2}|Hess(u)|^2+R_M)$$ relating the scalar curvature $R_M
We propose a novel meshless method to compute harmonic maps and conformal maps for surfaces embedded in the Euclidean 3-space, using point cloud data only. Given a surface, or a point cloud approximation, we simply use the standard cubic lattice to a
Some methods based on simple regularizing geometric element transformations have heuristically been shown to give runtime efficient and quality effective smoothing algorithms for meshes. We describe the mathematical framework and a systematic approach to global optimization-bas
