abstract

The Vietoris-Rips filtration, the standard filtration on metric data in topological data analysis, is notoriously sensitive to outliers. Sheehy's subdivision-Rips bifiltration $\mathcal{SR}(-)$ is a density-sensitive refinement that is robust to outliers in a strong sense, but whose 0-skeleton has exponential size. For $X$ a finite metric space of constant doubling dimension and fixed $\epsilon>0$, we construct a $(1+\epsilon)$-homotopy interleaving approximation of $\mathcal{SR}(X)$ whose $k$-skeleton has size $O(|X|^{k+2})$. For $k\geq 1$ constant, the $k$-skeleton can be computed in time $O(|X|^{k+3})$.

  1. Lower Bounds for Approximating the Vietoris-Rips Filtration

    math.AT 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    For any fixed c ≥ 1, there exist finite metric spaces whose Vietoris-Rips filtration cannot be c-approximated by any finitely presented construction of linear size; for c < √2, exponential size is required.
