Miscellaneous topological algorithms.
These notes review some techniques of computational topology
and include a few original results. Topics covered include
classificaltion of 2-complexes, cohomological obstructions to
embedding of 2-complexes, and in-groups associated with embeddings,
with a glance at computational synthetic geometry.
The most significant original result is that homeomorphism
of finite 2-complexes is computationally equivalent to
graph isomorphism. There are also some sufficient conditions
given for embeddability of 2-complexes in 3-space.
