Loops in reeb graphs of 2-manifolds

Abstract: Given a Morse function over a 2-manifold with or without boundary, the Reeb graph is obtained by contracting the connected components of the level sets to points. We prove tight upper and lower bounds on the number of loops in the Reeb graph that depend on the genus, the number of boundary components, and whether or not the 2-manifold is orientable. We also give an algorithm that constructs the Reeb graph in time O(Ò ÐÓ Ò), where Ò is the number of edges in the triangulation used to represent the 2-manifold an… Show more

“…This means two points (α, f (α)) and (γ , f (γ )) are represented as the same node in the Reeb graph if values of f are the same and they belong to the same connected component of the inverse image of f (α) (or, equivalently f (γ )). The Reeb quotient space is coded in a Reeb graph such that the vertices represent critical points [5,7,8,14,28] for details. The right of Fig.…”
