text: The Morse-Smale complex can be either explicitly or implicitly represented.
Depending on the type of representation, the simplification of the Morse-Smale
complex works differently. In the explicit representation, the Morse-Smale complex
is directly simplified by explicitly reconnecting the critical points during the
simplification. In the implicit representation, on the other hand, the Morse-Smale
complex is given by a combinatorial gradient field. In this setting, the simplification
changes the combinatorial flow, which yields an indirect simplification of the
Morse-Smale complex. The topological complexity of the Morse-Smale complex is
reduced in both representations. However, the simplifications generally yield
different results. In this chapter, we emphasize properties of the two representations
that cause these differences. We also provide a complexity analysis of the two
schemes with respect to running time and memory consumption.
