Graph or lattice topology discretization

[QUOTE="suremarc, post: 6055161, member: 546778"] Not an expert, but I don’t think graphs are appropriate structures for most topological or geometric problems. Graphs have only vertices and edges, whereas a triangulation of a topological or geometric space has k-simplices, where k<= the dimension of the space being considered. I get the distinct impression that you are interested in geometric data and not topological data (that would be invariants like Betti numbers and homology groups and such). If you have a representation of a space as a simplicial complex, you could consider the [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_exterior_calculus']discrete exterior calculus[/URL], but to extract meaningful geometric information I assume you’d some more geometric data, perhaps a metric which assigns edges to their respective distances.
