text: Given a finite set of points in Rn and a positive radius, we study the Čech,
Delaunay-Čech, alpha, and wrap complexes as instances of a generalized discrete
Morse theory. We prove that the latter three complexes are simple-homotopy equivalent.
Our results have applications in topological data analysis and in the reconstruction
of shapes from sampled data. Copyright is held by the owner/author(s).

text: We give evidence for the difficulty of computing Betti numbers of simplicial
complexes over a finite field. We do this by reducing the rank computation for
sparse matrices with to non-zero entries to computing Betti numbers of simplicial
complexes consisting of at most a constant times to simplices. Together with the
known reduction in the other direction, this implies that the two problems have
the same computational complexity.

text: 'Given topological spaces X,Y, a fundamental problem of algebraic topology
is understanding the structure of all continuous maps X→ Y. We consider a computational
version, where X,Y are given as finite simplicial complexes, and the goal is to
compute [X,Y], that is, all homotopy classes of suchmaps.We solve this problem
in the stable range, where for some d ≥ 2, we have dim X ≤ 2d-2 and Y is (d-1)-connected;
in particular, Y can be the d-dimensional sphere Sd. The algorithm combines classical
tools and ideas from homotopy theory (obstruction theory, Postnikov systems, and
simplicial sets) with algorithmic tools from effective algebraic topology (locally
effective simplicial sets and objects with effective homology). In contrast, [X,Y]
is known to be uncomputable for general X,Y, since for X = S1 it includes a well
known undecidable problem: testing triviality of the fundamental group of Y. In
follow-up papers, the algorithm is shown to run in polynomial time for d fixed,
and extended to other problems, such as the extension problem, where we are given
a subspace A ⊂ X and a map A→ Y and ask whether it extends to a map X → Y, or
computing the Z2-index-everything in the stable range. Outside the stable range,
the extension problem is undecidable.'

text: "In this paper, we introduce planar matchings on directed pseudo-line arrangements,
which yield a planar set of pseudo-line segments such that only matching-partners
are adjacent. By translating the planar matching problem into a corresponding
stable roommates problem we show that such matchings always exist.\r\nUsing our
new framework, we establish, for the first time, a complete, rigorous definition
of weighted straight skeletons, which are based on a so-called wavefront propagation
process. We present a generalized and unified approach to treat structural changes
in the wavefront that focuses on the restoration of weak planarity by finding
planar matchings."
