- *
- * The Vietoris-Rips complex
- * <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietoris%E2%80%93Rips_complex">(Wikipedia)</a>
- * is an abstract simplicial complex
- * defined on a finite metric space, where each simplex corresponds to a subset
- * of point whose diameter is smaller that some given threshold.
- * Varying the threshold, we can also see the Rips complex as a filtration of
- * the \f$(n-1)-\f$dimensional simplex, where the filtration value of each
- * simplex is the diameter of the corresponding subset of points.
- *
- * This filtered complex is most often used as an approximation of the
- * Čech complex. After rescaling (Rips using the length of the edges and Čech
- * the half-length), they share the same 1-skeleton and are multiplicatively
- * 2-interleaved or better. While it is slightly bigger, it is also much
- * easier to compute.
- *
- * The number of simplices in the full Rips complex is exponential in the
- * number of vertices, it is thus usually restricted, by excluding all the
- * simplices with filtration value larger than some threshold, and keeping only
- * the dim_max-skeleton.
- *
- * In order to build this complex, the algorithm first builds the graph.
- * The filtration value of each edge is computed from a user-given distance
- * function, or directly read from the distance matrix.
- * In a second step, this graph is inserted in a simplicial complex, which then
- * gets expanded to a flag complex.
- *
- * The input can be given as a range of points and a distance function, or as a
- * distance matrix.
- *
- * Vertex name correspond to the index of the point in the given range (aka. the point cloud).
- *
- * \image html "rips_complex_representation.png" "Rips-complex one skeleton graph representation"
- *
- * On this example, as edges (4,5), (4,6) and (5,6) are in the complex, simplex (4,5,6) is added with the filtration
- * value set with \f$max(filtration(4,5), filtration(4,6), filtration(5,6))\f$.
- * And so on for simplex (0,1,2,3).
- *
- * If the Rips_complex interfaces are not detailed enough for your need, please refer to
- * <a href="_persistent_cohomology_2rips_persistence_step_by_step_8cpp-example.html">
- * rips_persistence_step_by_step.cpp</a> example, where the constructions of the graph and
- * the Simplex_tree are more detailed.
- *
- * \section sparserips Sparse Rips complex
- *
- * Even truncated in filtration value and dimension, the Rips complex remains
- * quite large. However, it is possible to approximate it by a much smaller
- * filtered simplicial complex (linear size, with constants that depend on
- * &epsilon; and the doubling dimension of the space) that is
- * \f$(1+O(\epsilon))-\f$interleaved with it (in particular, their persistence
- * diagrams are at log-bottleneck distance at most \f$O(\epsilon)\f$).
- *
- * The sparse Rips filtration was introduced by Don Sheehy
- * \cite sheehy13linear. We are using the version described in
- * \cite buchet16efficient (except that we multiply all filtration values
- * by 2, to match the usual Rips complex), which proves a
- * \f$\frac{1+\epsilon}{1-\epsilon}\f$-interleaving, although in practice the
- * error is usually smaller.
- * A more intuitive presentation of the idea is available in
- * \cite cavanna15geometric, and in a video \cite cavanna15visualizing.
- *
- * The interface of `Sparse_rips_complex` is similar to the one for the usual
- * `Rips_complex`, except that one has to specify the approximation factor, and
- * there is no option to limit the maximum filtration value (the way the
- * approximation is done means that larger filtration values are much cheaper
- * to handle than low filtration values, so the gain would be too small).
- *
- * Theoretical guarantees are only available for \f$\epsilon<1\f$. The
- * construction accepts larger values of &epsilon;, and the size of the complex
- * keeps decreasing, but there is no guarantee on the quality of the result.

- * in other words):
- *
- * \code $> ./Rips_complex_example_one_skeleton_from_points
- * \endcode

- * with other words):
- *
- * \code $> ./Rips_complex_example_one_skeleton_from_distance_matrix

- *
- * All the other constructions discussed for Rips complex for distance matrix can be also performed for Rips complexes
- * construction from correlation matrices.

- * @warning As persistence diagrams points will be under the diagonal, bottleneck distance and persistence graphical
- * tool will not work properly, this is a known issue.
