If K is a finite simplicial complex and h is an injective map from the vertices of K to R, we show how to extend h to a discrete Morse function in the sense of Forman [Forman 02] in a reasonably efficient manner so that the resulting discrete Morse function mirrors the large-scale behavior of h. A concrete algorithm is given for the case where K is a subcomplex of R 3 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
