The Reeb graph is a construction which originated in Morse theory to study a real-valued function defined on a topological space. More recently, it has been used in various applications to study noisy data which creates a desire to define a measure of similarity between these structures. Here, we exploit the fact that the category of Reeb graphs is equivalent to the category of a particular class of cosheaf. Using this equivalency, we can define an ‘interleaving’ distance between Reeb graphs… CONTINUE READING
