Computing Homology

Tomasz Kaczynski, Konstantin Mischaikow and Marian Mrozek

The aim of this paper is to provide a short introduction to computational homology based on cubical complexes. The discussed topics include cubical complexes, a reduction algorithm for computing homology of finitely generated chain complexes, and an algorithmic construction of homology of continuous maps via multivalued acyclic representations.
