* In other words, the size functor studies theprocess of the birth and death of homology classes as the lower level set changes.When is smooth and compact and is a Morse function, the functor can bedescribed by oriented trees, called − trees. The concept of size functor was introduced as an extension to homology theory and category theory of the idea of size function. The main motivation for introducing the size functor originated by the observation that the size function can be seen as the rankof the image of . The concept of size functor is strictly related to the concept of , studied in persistent homology. It is worth to point out that the -th persistent homology group coincides with the image of the homomorphism . (en)
