Computing the first Betti number and the connected components of semi-algebraic sets
In this paper we describe the first singly exponential algorithm for computing the first Betti number of a given semi-algebraic set. We also describe algorithms for obtaining semi...

On the complexity of deciding connectedness and computing Betti numbers of a complex algebraic variety
We extend the lower bounds on the complexity of computing Betti numbers proved in [6] to complex algebraic varieties. More precisely, we first prove that the problem of deciding ...

Computing Betti Numbers via Combinatorial Laplacians
We use the Laplacian and power method to compute Betti numbers of simplicial complexes. This has a number of advantages over other methods, both in theory and in practice. It requ...
