CAUSAL LINEAR TOPOLOGICAL FILTERS OVER A 2-SIMPLEX

Topological filters via sheaves generalize the classical linear translation-invariant filter theory by attaching the filter computation locally to a simplicial topological space. This paper develops topological filters for causal signal flow over a 2-simplex. Our construction retains the established construction for 1-simplices and we show how an apparent conflict in the sheaf assignment can be resolved by a concurrent extension, which introduces an auxiliary 1-simplex that computes the resolution. Furthermore, we discuss how singularities formed by double cone connections can be resolved.
