“…For convenience, we set the death value of 0-cycles to some fixed number c > w ( q −1) . Then the persistence diagram of the graph filtration is simply ( w (1) , c ), ( w (2) , c ), …, ( w ( q −1) , c ) forming 1D scatter points along the horizontal line y = c , and making various analysis and operations, including matching, significantly simplified ( Songdechakraiwut & Chung, 2020b ). Figure 1 illustrates the graph filtration and corresponding 1D scatter points in persistence diagrams on the binary tree used in Garside et al (2021) .…”
