Chain (algebraic topology)
text:
In algebraic topology, a k-chain
is a formal linear combination of the k-cells in a cell complex. In simplicial complexes, k-chains are combinations of k-simplices, but not necessarily connected. Chains are used in homology; the elements of a homology group are equivalence classes of chains.
