Persistence Modules

This chapter introduces the basic properties of persistence modules. These can be defined over any partially ordered set; we are primarily interested in persistence modules over the real line or over a finite subset of the real line. In the best cases, a

Preface

Our intention, at the beginning, was to write a short paper resolving some technical issues in the theory of topological persistence. Specifically, we wished to present a clean easy-to-use framework for continuous-parameter persistence, building on the well-studied case of discrete-parameter persistence. Over a number of years, we gradually abandoned the idea of a short paper. It apparent
