It offers state-of-the-art algorithms +to construct various types of simplicial complexes, data structures to +represent them, and algorithms to compute geometric approximations of shapes +and persistent homology. + +The GUDHI library offers the following interoperable modules: + +* Complexes: + * Cubical + * Simplicial: Rips, Witness, Alpha and Čech complexes + * Cover: Nerve and Graph induced complexes +* Data structures and basic operations: + * Simplex tree, Skeleton blockers and Toplex map + * Construction, update, filtration and simplification +* Topological descriptors computation +* Manifold reconstruction +* Topological descriptors tools: + * Bottleneck distance + * Statistical tools + * Persistence diagram and barcode + +For more information about Topological Data Analysis and its workflow, please +refer to the `Wikipedia TDA dedicated page <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_data_analysis>`_. |
