the union preceding the same step is preserved when moving from a one-critical filtered complex X to a filtered Morse complex M compatible with X .
In this section, we assume that the filtered complex X is one-critical. For example, it might be obtained by sublevel sets with respect to a filtering function φ : X ´Ñ Zn as observed in Remark1.6.5.
5.3.1 Proposition. For each integer n ě 1, each filtration grade u P Zn, and each homology degree k, Hk ´ Xu, Xu1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Xun ¯ – Hk ´ Mu, Mu1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Mun ¯ .
Proof. We claim that, for all 1 ď i ď n, HkpXu

Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Muiq. For simplifying the notation, we denote by i the grade ui, by XYi the union of Lefschetz complexes X1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Xi, and by MYi the union of Lefschetz complexes M1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Mi.
We proceed inductively on i. The base step is provided by Theorem1.6.8which implies that the inclusion-induced maps from HkpMiq to HkpXiq are isomorphisms for all integers k. Now, consider
the MV-triples pXYi`1, XYi, Xi`1q and pMYi`1, MYi, Mi`1q. Inclusion-induced maps connect the
chain complexes of the components in pMYi`1, MYi, Mi`1q to those in pXYi`1, XYi, Xi`1q and
commute with the maps in the two short exact sequences. From Theorem1.3.12, we obtain the corresponding long exact Mayer-Vietoris sequences, depicted by rows in the following diagram:

where, by Theorem 6.13 in [164] maps ϕk1, ϕk, ϕk´12 are given by naturality property from the
corresponding chain complex maps and, thus, make the diagram commute. By the Five Lemma, if all ϕk2, ϕk1are isomorphisms, then ϕkis an isomorphism.
Each map ϕk1is given as direct sum of two maps. The first map is an isomorphism by inductive assumption. The second one is the isomorphism implied by Theorem 1.6.8. For the maps ϕk2, we notice that, once indicated by u ´ 1 the grade with ith-entry defined by ui´ 1, then
Xu´1“ XYiX Xi`1 and Mu´1“ MYiX Mi`1. Indeed, the filtrations are one-critical. This means that there is no cell in the intersection XYiX Xi`1that might be outside Xu´1, and the converse
inclusion is obvious. Thus, the maps ϕk2are the isomorphisms implied by Theorem1.6.8. Hence, the Five Lemma applies and, for all i from 1 to n ´ 1, HkpX1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Xi`1q – HkpM1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Mi`1q
Consider now the inclusions of XYninto Xuand of MYn into Mu. This allows us to consider the
relative pairs pXu, XYnq and pMu, MYnq.
By Theorem 1.3.10, the two relative pairs induce each a long exact sequence of homology corresponding to the rows in the following diagram:
. . . //HkpXuq // ψk1 HkpXu, XYnq // ψk Hk´1pXYnq // ψk´12 . . . . . . //HkpMuq //HkpMu, MYnq //H k´1pMYnq, //. . .
where, maps ψk1, ψk, ψk2are inclusion-induced and make the diagram commute by applying the same argument as for maps ϕk1, ϕk2. The maps ψk1are the isomorphisms implied by Theorem1.6.8. The maps ψk2are the isomorphisms of our claim. Hence, by the Five Lemma, we get that ψk are isomorphisms. Thus, HkpXu, XYnq – HkpMu, MYnq which concludes our proof.
A crucial application of Proposition5.3.1is that optimality of V compatible with X can be directly checked on the associated filtered Morse complex M. Moreover, the following Lemma gives a sufficient condition to check, independently for each filtration grade u, that the number mkpuq
of k-cells in any level set Muz ´
Mu1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Mun ¯
is the one expected by considering relative homology.
5.3.2 Lemma. Let u P Zn be any filtration grade of a filtered Morse complex M, and Brel the
collection of boundary maps for the relative pair pMu, Mu1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Munq. If, for all integers k and all k-cells a P Muz
´
Mu1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Mun ¯
, it holds that Bkrela “ 0, then
@k P Z, dim Hk

Mu, Mu1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Mun ¯
“ mkpuq.
Proof. Fix an integer k. Notice that mkpuq is the cardinality of MkuzpMku1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Mkunq and thus, the dimension of the space of relative k-chains in the desired relative pair pMu, Mu1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Munq. If, for all a P MkuzpMku1Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Mkunq, we have that Bkrela “ 0, then the dimension of the space of relative k-cycles is the same as that of relative k-chains, that is mkpuq. If, for all a P Mk`1u zpMk`1u1 Y ¨ ¨ ¨ Y Mk`1un q, we have that Brelk`1a “ 0, then the dimension of the space of relative k-boundaries is 0. Hence, the dimension of the relative kth-homology of the desired relative pair is mkpuq. This
