Abstract

En 中文
We describe the Coefficient-Flow algorithm for calculating the bounding chain of an (n-1)-boundary on an n-manifold-like simplicial complex S. We prove its correctness and show that it has a computational time complexity of O(vertical bar S(n-1)vertical bar) (where S(n-1) is the set of (n-1)-faces of S). We estimate the big-O coefficient which depends on the dimension of S and the implementation. We present an implementation, experimentally evaluate the complexity of our algorithm, and compare its performance with that of solving the underlying linear system.
