contents Stratified digraphs are popular models for feedforward neural networks. However, computation of their path homologies has been limited to low dimensions due to high computational complexity. A recursive algorithm is proposed to compute certain high-dimensional (reduced) path homologies of stratified digraphs. By recursion on matrix representations of homologies of subgraphs, the algorithm efficiently computes the full-depth path homology of a stratified digraph, i.e. homology with dimension equal to the depth of the graph. The algorithm can be used to compute full-depth persistent homologies and for acyclic digraphs, the maximal path homology, i.e., path homology with dimension equal to the maximum path length of a graph. Numerical experiments show that the algorithm has a significant advantage over the general algorithm in computation time as the depth of stratified digraph increases.
