Optimal topological simplification of discrete functions on surfaces

A widely considered problem is to separate "noise" from "important" information of a function obtained from measured data. But how can we quantify noise? One approach called "persistence theory" uses topological quantities to distinguish between important and less important information. In our set-up, we want to find a perturbation of a given function f on a surface that is close to a f and has as few critical points as possible. This is achieved by combining Forman's discrete Morse theory with Edelsbrunner's persistence theory.
