Abstract
The notion of collapse of finite spaces is directly connected with the concept of simplicial collapse. In Chap. 3 we studied the notion of elementary strong collapse which is the fundamental move that describes homotopy types of finite spaces. In this chapter we will define the notion of strong collapse of simplicial complexes which leades to strong homotopy types of complexes.
