application: topaz
The TOPology Application Zoo deals with abstract simplicial complexes. A complex is given as a list of facets. You can ask for its global properties (manifold recognition, homology groups, etc.), explore the local vertex environment (stars, links, etc.), and make a lot of constructions.
The visualization means are constrained, as they are mostly based on the GRAPH (1-skeleton) of a complex.

Find the permutations of facets and vertices which maps the first complex to the second one. The facet permutation is the first component of the return value. If the complexes are not isomorphic, an exception is thrown.
- isomorphic (complex1, complex2) → Bool
Determine whether two given complexes are combinatorially isomorphic. The problem is reduced to graph isomorphism of the vertex-facet incidence graphs.

Tries to determine whether two complexes are pl-homeomorphic by using bistellar flips and a simulated annealing strategy.
You may specify the maximal number of rounds, how often the system may relax before heating up and how much heat should be applied. The function stops computing, once the size of the triangulation has not decreased for rounds iterations. If the abs flag is set, the function stops after rounds iterations regardless of when the last improvement took place. Additionally, you may set the threshold min_n_facets for the number of facets when the simplification ought to stop. Default is d+2 in the CLOSED_PSEUDO_MANIFOLD case and 1 otherwise.
If you want to influence the distribution of the dimension of the moves when warming up you may do so by specifying a distribution. The number of values in distribution determines the dimensions used for heating up. The heating and relaxing parameters decrease dynamically unless the constant flag is set. The function prohibits to execute the reversed move of a move directly after the move itself unless the allow_rev_move flag is set. Setting the allow_rev_move flag might help solve a particular resilient problem.
If you are interested in how the process is coming along, try the verbose option. It specifies after how many rounds the current best result is displayed.
The obj determines the objective function used for the optimization. If obj is set to 0, the function searches for the triangulation with the lexicographically smallest f-vector, if obj is set to 1, the function searches for the triangulation with the reversed-lexicographically smallest f-vector and if obj is set to 2 the sum of the f-vector entries is used. The default is 1.

Bool
- UNDOCUMENTED
- morse_matching (SimplicialComplex) → EdgeMap
Compute a Morse matching. Two heuristics are implemented:
- A simple greedy algorithm: The arcs are visited in lexicographical order, i.e.:
we proceed by levels from top to bottom, visit the faces in each dimension in lexicographical order, and visited the faces covered by these faces in lexicographical order.
This heuristic is used by default and with heuristic => 1.
- A Morse matching can be improved by canceling critical cells along unique alternating paths, see function processAlternatingPaths() in file morse_matching_tools.h . This idea is due to Robin Forman:
Morse Theory for Cell-Complexes, Advances in Math., 134 (1998), pp. 90-145.
This heuristic is used by default and with heuristic => 2.
The default setting is to use both, i.e., to run the greedy algorithm and then improve the result by the canceling algorithm.
Morse matchings for the bottom level can be found optimally by spanning tree techniques. This can be enabled by the option levels => 1. If the complex is a pseudo-manifold the same can be done for the top level (option levels => 2). By specifying option levels => 0, both levels can be computed by spanning trees. For 2-dim pseudo-manifolds this computes an optimal Morse matching.
- morse_matching_size (a) → Int
Compute the number of edges in a Morse matching.
Parameters

- alexander_dual (complex) → SimplicialComplex

- bistellar_simplification (complex) → SimplicialComplex
Heuristic for simplifying the triangulation of the given manifold without changing its PL-type. The function uses bistellar flips and a simulated annealing strategy.
You may specify the maximal number of rounds, how often the system may relax before heating up and how much heat should be applied. The function stops computing, once the size of the triangulation has not decreased for rounds iterations. If the abs flag is set, the function stops after rounds iterations regardless of when the last improvement took place. Additionally, you may set the threshold min_n_facets for the number of facets when the simplification ought to stop. Default is d+2 in the CLOSED_PSEUDO_MANIFOLD case and 1 otherwise.
If you want to influence the distribution of the dimension of the moves when warming up you may do so by specifying a distribution. The number of values in distribution determines the dimensions used for heating up. The heating and relaxing parameters decrease dynamically unless the constant flag is set. The function prohibits to execute the reversed move of a move directly after the move itself unless the allow_rev_move flag is set. Setting the allow_rev_move flag might help solve a particular resilient problem.
If you are interested in how the process is coming along, try the verbose option. It specifies after how many rounds the current best result is displayed.
The obj determines the objective function used for the optimization. If obj is set to 0, the function searches for the triangulation with the lexicographically smallest f-vector, if obj is set to any other value the sum of the f-vector entries is used. The default is 1.
