A result of continuous stability for generalized persistence diagrams
We study persistence modules obtained from the $A$-fundamental groupoids of finite graphs. Moreover, we verify the categorical properties needed to form generalized persistence diagrams, and describe a quotient that identifies equivalent groupoids. A normalized linear presheaf construction places these modules in an essentially small abelian category, where Patel's Continuity Theorem gives a $1$-Lipschitz estimate in erosion distance. Explicit graph filtrations illustrate the groupoid-valued construction, and so we suggest a new approach to interpret persistence diagrams and large data sets in topological data analysis, based on recent works of A-homotopy theory of the last years.
