abstract
Many topological data analysis (TDA) pipelines compute large collections of persistence diagrams, yet vectorizations and kernel methods discard the rank-induced implication relations among persistence intervals that are essential for faithful structural comparison and interpretability. We introduce higher-order persistence diagrams, a recursive construction in which containment relations among persistence intervals define higher-order persistence intervals. This construction performs comparison and aggregation directly on persistence diagrams and preserves interval-level structure. We use harmonic analysis to reduce frequency-space evaluations of aggregated diagrams to zeta transforms. This reduction avoids explicit construction of higher-order diagrams and replaces quadratic pair enumeration with nearly linear-time evaluation. Experiments on random network models show substantial speedups over explicit aggregation. Anonymized code is available at https://anonymous.4open.science/r/higher-order-persistence-8201.
