`‣ ReadCSVfileAsPureCubicalKnot`( L, R ) | ( function )

Reads a CSV file identified by a string str such as "file.pdb" or "path/file.pdb" and returns a \(3\)-dimensional pure cubical complex \(K\). Each line of the file should contain the coordinates of a point in \(\mathbb R^3\) and the complex \(K\) should represent a knot determined by the sequence of points, though the latter is not guaranteed. A useful check in this direction is to test that \(K\) has the homotopy type of a circle.

If the test fails then try the function again with an integer \(r \ge 2\) entered as the optional second argument. The integer determines the resolution with which the knot is constructed.

The function can also read in a list \(L\) of strings identifying CSV files for several knots. In this case a list \(R\) of integer resolutions can also be entered. The lists \(L\) and \(R\) must be of equal length.

The \(k\)th term in the filtration is a pure cubical complex corresponding to a black/white version of the image determined by the threshold \(t_k=k \times 765/n \). The \(2\)-cells of the \(k\)th term correspond to pixels with RGB value \(R+G+B \le t_k\).

Examples: 1

##### 1.1-18 ReadImageAsWeightFunction

`‣ ReadImageAsWeightFunction`( str, t ) | ( function )

It constructs a \(2\)-dimensional regular CW-complex \(Y\) from the image, together with a weight function \(w\colon Y\rightarrow \mathbb Z\) corresponding to a filtration on \(Y\) of filtration length \(t\). The pair \([Y,w]\) is returned.

Reads a PDB (Protein Database) file identified by a string str such as "file.pdb" or "path/file.pdb" and returns a \(3\)-dimensional pure cubical complex \(K\).

Examples: 1 , 2

##### 1.1-20 ReadPDBfileAsPurepermutahedralComplex

`‣ ReadPDBfileAsPurepermutahedralComplex` | ( global variable )

`‣ ReadPDBfileAsPurePermutahedralComplex`( str, r ) | ( function )

Reads a PDB (Protein Database) file identified by a string str such as "file.pdb" or "path/file.pdb" and returns a \(3\)-dimensional pure permutahedral complex \(K\). The complex \(K\) should represent a (protein backbone) knot but this is not guaranteed. A useful check in this direction is to test that \(K\) has the homotopy type of a circle.

If the test fails then try the function again with an integer \(r \ge 2\) entered as the optional second argument. The integer determines the resolution with which the knot is constructed.
