Abstract

Component graphs $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{0}(F)$ are defined for arrays of sets $F$, and, in particular, for arrays of path components for Vietoris–Rips complexes and Lesnick complexes. The path components of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{0}(F)$ are the stable components of the array $F$. The stable components for the system of Lesnick complexes $\{L_{s,k}(X)\}$ for a finite data set $X$ decompose into layers, which are themselves path components of a graph. Combinatorial scoring functions are defined for layers and stable components.
