flag {simplextree}

flag

Description

Creates a filtration of flag complexes

Usage

flag(st, d)

Arguments

st

a simplex tree. See details.

d

a vector of edge weights, or a 'dist' object.

Details

A flag complex is a simplicial complex whose k-simplices for k >= 2 are completely determined by edges/graph of the complex. This function creates filtered simplicial complex using the supplied edge weights. The resulting complex is a simplex tree object endowed with additional structure; see. Vertices have their weights set to 0, and k-simplices w/ k >= 2 have their weights set to the maximum weight of any of its edges.
