In a preprocessing stage, we create the Morse-Smale complex of the function and progressively simplify its topology by cancelling pairs of critical points. Based on a simple notion of dependency among these cancellations, we construct a hierarchical data structure supporting traversal and reconstruction operations similarly to traditional geometry-based representations. We use this data structure to extract topologically valid approximations that satisfy error bounds provided at runtime."}],"publisher":"IEEE","page":"385 - 396","date_created":"2018-12-11T12:06:16Z","publist_id":"2139","_id":"3984","pmid":1,"external_id":{"pmid":["18579967"]},"oa_version":"None","doi":"10.1109/TVCG.2004.3","author":[{"first_name":"Peer","full_name":"Bremer, Peer","last_name":"Bremer"},{"last_name":"Edelsbrunner","orcid":"0000-0002-9823-6833","full_name":"Edelsbrunner, Herbert","first_name":"Herbert","id":"3FB178DA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87"},{"first_name":"Bernd","full_name":"Hamann, Bernd","last_name":"Hamann"},{"full_name":"Pascucci, Valerio","last_name":"Pascucci","first_name":"Valerio"}],"das_tickbox":"1","intvolume":"        10","publication_status":"published","issue":"4","extern":"1"}]
