[edit] Summary

Description

Let A be an additive category. The homotopy category K(A) is based on the following definition: if we have complexes A, B and maps f, g from A to B, a chain homotopy from f to g is a collection of maps h^n \colon A^n \to B^{n - 1} (not a map of complexes) such that

f^n - g^n = d_B^{n - 1} h^n + h^{n + 1} d_A^n, or simply f − g = dBh + hdA.

This can be depicted as shown in the diagram.
