text: We propose a metric for Reeb graphs, called the functional distortion distance.
Under this distance, the Reeb graph is stable against small changes of input functions.
At the same time, it remains discriminative at differentiating input functions.
In particular, the main result is that the functional distortion distance between
two Reeb graphs is bounded from below by the bottleneck distance between both
the ordinary and extended persistence diagrams for appropriate dimensions. As
an application of our results, we analyze a natural simplification scheme for
Reeb graphs, and show that persistent features in Reeb graph remains persistent
under simplification. Understanding the stability of important features of the
Reeb graph under simplification is an interesting problem on its own right, and
critical to the practical usage of Reeb graphs. Copyright is held by the owner/author(s).
