We discuss first how to transpose Morse theory to the discrete case in order to describe the morphology of triangulated terrains. We review algorithms for computing Morse decompositions, that we have adapted and implemented for triangulated terrains. We compare the the Morse decompositions produced by them, by considering two different metrics.}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-24085-0_58}, author = {Vitali,M. and De Floriani, Leila and Magillo,P.} }
