ComplexMap * ComplexMap -- composition of homomorphisms of complexes

Synopsis

Description

If $g_i : C_i \rightarrow D_{d+i}$, and $h_j : D_j \rightarrow E_{e+j}$, then the composition corresponds to $f_i := h_{d+i} * g_i : C_i \rightarrow E_{i+d+e}$. In particular, the degree of the composition $f$ is the sum of the degrees of $g$ and $h$.
