Bipath Persistence
Abstract
In persistent homology analysis, interval modules play a central role in describing the birth and death of topological features across a filtration. In this work, we extend this setting, and propose the use of bipath persistent homology, which can be used to study the persistence of topological features across a pair of filtrations connected at their ends, to compare the two filtrations. In this setting, interval-decomposability is guaranteed, and we provide an algorithm for computing persistence diagrams for bipath persistent homology and discuss the interpretation of bipath persistence diagrams.
