contents The $k$-cover of a point cloud $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ at radius $r$ is the set of all points within distance $r$ of at least $k$ points of $X$. By varying $r$ and $k$ we obtain a two-parameter filtration known as the multicover bifiltration. This bifiltration has received attention recently due to being choice-free and robust to outliers. However, it is hard to compute: the smallest known equivalent simplicial bifiltration has $O(|X|^{d+1})$ simplices. We introduce a $(1+ε)$-approximation of the multicover bifiltration of linear size $O(|X|)$, for fixed $d$ and $ε$. The methods also apply to the subdivision Rips bifiltration on metric spaces of bounded doubling dimension, yielding analogous results.
