The following preprint is available, at my home page and by ftp: Combinatorial homology and image analysis M. Grandis ABSTRACT. This is the sequel of a paper, cited as Part I ("An intrinsic homotopy theory for simplicial complexes, with applications to image analysis"), introducing intrinsic homotopies and homotopy groups for simplicial complexes. We study here the relations of this intrinsic homotopy theory with the well-known intrinsic homology theory of simplicial complexes. Also here, the applications are aimed at image analysis. A metric space X has a structure t_e(X) of simplicial complex at each resolution e > 0; the corresponding *metric combinatorial homology groups* H_n( t_e(X)) can be directly computed, in cases of interest for applications, via the Mayer-Vietoris exact sequence and a study of deformation retracts given in Part I. http://www.dima.unige.it/STAFF/GRANDIS/ "ftp://pitagora.dima.unige.it/WWW/FTP/GRANDIS/Cmb2.May99.ps With best regards Marco Grandis Dipartimento di Matematica Universita' di Genova via Dodecaneso 35 16146 GENOVA, Italy e-mail: grandis@dima.unige.it tel: +39.010.353 6805 fax: +39.010.353 6752
