+ Computation of persistent cohomology using the algorithm of
+ \cite DBLP:journals/dcg/SilvaMV11 and \cite DBLP:journals/corr/abs-1208-5018
+ and the Compressed Annotation Matrix
+ implementation of \cite DBLP:conf/esa/BoissonnatDM13
+
+ The theory of homology consists in attaching to a topological space a sequence of
+ (homology) groups,
+ capturing global topological features
+ like connected components, holes, cavities, etc. Persistent homology studies the evolution
+ -- birth, life and death -- of
+ these features when the topological space is changing. Consequently, the theory is essentially
+ composed of three elements:
+ topological spaces, their homology groups and an evolution scheme.
+
+ \section persistencetopolocalspaces Topological Spaces
+ Topological spaces are represented by simplicial complexes.
+ Let \f$V = \{1, \cdots ,|V|\}\f$ be a set of <EM>vertices</EM>.
+ A <EM>simplex</EM> \f$\sigma\f$ is a subset of vertices
+ \f$\sigma \subseteq V\f$. A <EM>simplicial complex</EM> \f$\mathbf{K}\f$
+ on \f$V\f$ is a collection of simplices \f$\{\sigma\}\f$,
+ \f$\sigma \subseteq V\f$, such that \f$\tau \subseteq \sigma \in \mathbf{K}
+ \Rightarrow \tau \in \mathbf{K}\f$. The dimension \f$n=|\sigma|-1\f$ of \f$\sigma\f$
+ is its number of elements minus 1. A <EM>filtration</EM> of a simplicial complex is
+ a function \f$f:\mathbf{K} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\f$ satisfying \f$f(\tau)\leq
+ f(\sigma)\f$ whenever \f$\tau \subseteq \sigma\f$.
+
+ We define the concept FilteredComplex which enumerates the requirements for a class
+ to represent a filtered complex from which persistent homology may be computed.
+ We use the vocabulary of simplicial complexes, but the concept
+ is valid for any type of cell complex. The main requirements
+ are the definition of:
+ \li type <CODE>Indexing_tag</CODE>, which is a model of the concept
+ <CODE>IndexingTag</CODE>,
+ describing the nature of the indexing scheme,
+ \li type Simplex_handle to manipulate simplices,
+ \li method <CODE>int dimension(Simplex_handle)</CODE> returning
+ the dimension of a simplex,
+ \li type and method <CODE>Boundary_simplex_range
+ boundary_simplex_range(Simplex_handle)</CODE> that returns
+ a range giving access to the codimension 1 subsimplices of the
+ input simplex, as-well-as the coefficients \f$(-1)^i\f$ in the
+ definition of the operator \f$\partial\f$. The iterators have
+ value type <CODE>Simplex_handle</CODE>,
+ \li type and method
+ <CODE>Filtration_simplex_range filtration_simplex_range ()</CODE>
+ that returns a range giving
+ access to all the simplices of the complex read in the order
+ assigned by the indexing scheme,
+ \li type and method
+ <CODE>Filtration_value filtration (Simplex_handle)</CODE> that returns the value of
+ the filtration on the simplex represented by the handle.
+
+ \section persistencehomology Homology
+ For a ring \f$\mathcal{R}\f$, the group of <EM>n-chains</EM>,
+ denoted \f$\mathbf{C}_n(\mathbf{K},\mathcal{R})\f$, of \f$\mathbf{K}\f$ is the
+ group of formal sums of
+ n-simplices with \f$\mathcal{R}\f$ coefficients. The <EM>boundary operator</EM> is a
+ linear operator
+ \f$\partial_n: \mathbf{C}_n(\mathbf{K},\mathcal{R}) \rightarrow \mathbf{C}_{n-1}(\mathbf{K},\mathcal{R})\f$
+ such that \f$\partial_n \sigma = \partial_n [v_0, \cdots , v_n] =
+ \sum_{i=0}^n (-1)^{i}[v_0,\cdots ,\widehat{v_i}, \cdots,v_n]\f$,
+ where \f$\widehat{v_i}\f$ means \f$v_i\f$ is omitted from the list. The chain
+ groups form a sequence:
+
+ \f[\cdots \ \ \mathbf{C}_n(\mathbf{K},\mathcal{R}) \xrightarrow{\ \partial_n\ } \mathbf{C}_{n-1}(\mathbf{K},\mathcal{R})
+ \xrightarrow{\partial_{n-1}} \cdots \xrightarrow{\ \partial_2 \ }
+ \mathbf{C}_1(\mathbf{K},\mathcal{R}) \xrightarrow{\ \partial_1 \ } \mathbf{C}_0(\mathbf{K},\mathcal{R}) \f]
+
+ of finitely many groups \f$\mathbf{C}_n(\mathbf{K},\mathcal{R})\f$ and homomorphisms
+ \f$\partial_n\f$, indexed by the dimension \f$n \geq 0\f$.
+ The boundary operators satisfy the property \f$\partial_n \circ \partial_{n+1}=0\f$
+ for every \f$n > 0\f$
+ and we define the homology groups:
+
+ \f[\mathbf{H}_n(\mathbf{K},\mathcal{R}) = \ker \partial_n / \mathrm{im} \ \partial_{n+1}\f]
+
+ We refer to \cite Munkres-elementsalgtop1984 for an introduction to homology
+ theory and to \cite DBLP:books/daglib/0025666 for an introduction to persistent homology.
+
+ \section persistenceindexingscheme Indexing Scheme
+ "Changing" a simplicial complex consists in applying a simplicial map.
+ An <EM>indexing scheme</EM> is a directed graph together with a traversal
+ order, such that two
+ consecutive nodes in the graph are connected by an arrow (either forward or backward).
+ The nodes represent simplicial complexes and the directed edges simplicial maps.
+
+ From the computational point of view, there are two types of indexing schemes of
+ interest
+ in persistent homology: <EM>linear</EM> ones
+ \f$\bullet \longrightarrow \bullet \longrightarrow \cdots \longrightarrow \bullet
+ \longrightarrow \bullet\f$
+ in persistent homology \cite DBLP:journals/dcg/ZomorodianC05 ,
+ and <EM>zigzag</EM> ones
+ \f$\bullet \longrightarrow \bullet \longleftarrow \cdots
+ \longrightarrow \bullet
+ \longleftarrow \bullet \f$ in zigzag persistent
+ homology \cite DBLP:journals/focm/CarlssonS10.
+ These indexing schemes have a natural left-to-right traversal order, and we
+ describe them with ranges and iterators.
+ In the current release of the Gudhi library, only the linear case is implemented.
+
+ In the following, we consider the case where the indexing scheme is induced
+ by a filtration.
+ Ordering the simplices
+ by increasing filtration values (breaking ties so as a simplex appears after
+ its subsimplices of same filtration value) provides an indexing scheme.
+
