Path homology proposed by S.-T.Yau and his co-workers provides a new mathematical model for directed graphs and networks. Persistent path homology (PPH) extends the path homology with filtration to deal with asymmetry structures. However, PPH is constrained to purely topological persistence and cannot track the homotopic shape evolution of data during filtration. To overcome the limitation of PPH, persistent path Laplacian (PPL) is introduced to capture the shape evolution of data. PPL's harmonic spectra fully recover PPH's topological persistence and its non-harmonic spectra reveal the homotopic shape evolution of data during filtration.
