Everything about Computational Topology totally explained

Algorithmic topology, or computational topology, is a subfield of topology with an overlap with areas of computer science, in particular computational complexity theory. A primary concern of algorithmic topology, as its name suggests, is to develop efficient algorithms for solving topological problems. For example, an open problem, called the unknotting problem, is to find a polynomial time algorithm to see if a knot is unknotted.
   Some parts of algorithmic topology can be considered experimental mathematics.
   As the Workshop on Application of Topology in Science and Engineering September 18 - September 22, 2006, at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley, CA has shown, applications of computational topology are developing in the following directions:
image analysis (see, for example, digital topology) and image compression, surface reconstruction from point clouds and random data, high-dimensional data analysis including dimensionality reduction, dynamical systems, proteomics and DNA structure analysis, robotics.

External Link Exchanges

Do you know how hard it is to get a link from a large encyclopaedia? Well we're different and will prove it. To get a link from us just add the following HTML to your site on a relevant page:

    <a href="http://computational_topology.totallyexplained.com">Computational topology Totally Explained</a>

Then simply click through this link from your web page. Our crawlers will verify your link, extract the title of your web page and instantly add a link back to it. If you like you can remove the words Totally Explained and embed the link in article text.
   As long as your link remains in place, we'll keep our link to you right here. Please play fair - our crawlers are watching. Your site must be closely related to this one's topic. Any kind of spamming, dubious practises or removing the link will result in your link from us being dropped and, potentially, your whole site being banned.
