Slide8: 

INAF Osservatorio Astrofisico di Catania Mathematical basis of Minkowski functionals The first Minkowski functional F1(r) represents normalized surface of covering The second Minkowski functional F2(r) represents normalized mean curvature Minkowski functionals give us information about geometry, mean curvature and Euler characteristic of a cosmological sample.

Slide9: 

INAF Osservatorio Astrofisico di Catania The third functional F3(r) represents the Euler characteristic c of the covering. It is the most important for the topological studies: considering the factor c = Ncontours - N tunnels positive values characterize structures having a little amount of tunnels, having principally a convex structure; Negative values indicate high tunneling, and so characterize “spongy-like” structures.

Slide10: 

INAF Osservatorio Astrofisico di Catania Two-point correlation function Several estimators exist to compute the correlation function. We have limited our choice to Peebles &Hauser’s estimator.

Slide11: 

INAF Osservatorio Astrofisico di Catania Power Spectrum The quantity r(k) is used to to compute the Power Spectrum, where r(k) is the FFT of the mass density, and K is the wavenumber. The Power Spectrum of the matter distribution is a quadratic statistic of the spatial clustering

Slide12: 

INAF Osservatorio Astrofisico di Catania FOF friend-of-friend The most common group finding algorithm is known as “friend-of-friend” .It was first used by Huchra and Geller (1982) and involves searching around each sample galaxy for companions close as for distance and velocity. These companions are then searched for their companions, and so on until no other companion is found.
