Curves, Hypersurfaces, and Good Pairs of Adjacency Relations

In this paper we propose several equivalent definitions of digital curves and hypersurfaces in arbitrary dimension. The definitions involve properties such as one-dimensionality of curves and (n − 1)dimensionality of hypersurfaces that make them discrete analogs of corresponding notions in topology. Thus this work appears to be the first one on digital manifolds where the definitions involve the notion of dimension. In particular, a digital hypersurface in nD is an (n−1)-dimensional object, as it is in the case of continuous hypersurfaces. Relying on the obtained properties of digital hypersurfaces, we propose a uniform approach for studying good pairs defined by separations and obtain a classification of good pairs in arbitrary dimension.
