Abstract:

We first review linear worst-case complexity algorithms for the computation of the first homology and cohomology group generators on closed combinatorial 2-manifolds. Then, we show how to generalize these algorithms to work with combinatorial 2-manifolds with boundary and to compute a basis of the first relative (co)homology group. Finally, these ingredients are used to devise a greedy algorithm to compute the minimal basis of the aforementioned (co)homology groups.

This is the first one of a short series of seminars on "Computational Homology and  Applications in Electromagnetism" that Prof. Ruben Specogna will hold during his research stay at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Trento.
