Abstract

We present a generalization of the induced matching theorem of as reported by Bauer and Lesnick (in: Proceedings of the thirtieth annual symposium computational geometry 2014) and use it to prove a generalization of the algebraic stability theorem for \({\mathbb {R}}\)-indexed pointwise finite-dimensional persistence modules. Via numerous examples, we show how the generalized algebraic stability theorem enables the computation of rigorous error bounds in the space of persistence diagrams that go beyond the typical formulation in terms of bottleneck (or log bottleneck) distance.
