Betti numbers are a sequence of topological invariants that indicate how many holes of each dimension an object has. For example, the first Betti number counts one-dimensional circular holes, and the second counts two-dimensional holes.
Conditions: Applies to topological spaces, especially simplicial complexes.; Each entry in the sequence corresponds to a different hole dimension.

The Euler characteristic is an alternating count of simplices by dimension: the number of 0-dimensional vertices minus the number of 1-dimensional edges plus the number of 2-dimensional triangular faces minus the number of 3-dimensional tetrahedral solids plus the number of 4-dimensional spaces.
Conditions: Applies to simplicial complexes or triangulated topological spaces.; The terms refer to counts of 0-, 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-dimensional pieces.

To convert a graph into a simplicial complex, first identify all complete subgraphs (cliques) within the graph. Note that these cliques can overlap but do not collectively make a larger complete graph unless fully connected.
Conditions: The starting structure is an arbitrary graph.; The graph contains complete subgraphs (cliques).
