Relative Simplicial Complex

[Andrés Moreno]

Hi everyone,

I am collaborating with a colleague to somehow extend the class SimplicialComplex to include functionalities of relative simplicial complexes. We've started coding but seek your input before moving forward, particularly on the initial design of the class.

Initially, we considered designing a new class with with a constructor having as an input two instances of the class SimplicialComplex, namely a complex and its subcomplex. However, we're now leaning towards inheriting directly from SimplicialComplex and adding a property for the relative part. This approach seems more logical, allowing us access to methods and behaviors from Sage's base classes.

We've also noted that some existing methods in Sage already include parameters for relative parts. An alternative approach could be to integrate this functionality into all existing methods.
We value your thoughts and feedback on these approaches, as we aim to make a meaningful contribution to the software.

Best regards,

Andres Moreno
