Construction of Minimal Catmull-Clark's Subdivision Surfaces with Given Boundaries
Minimal surface is an important class of surfaces. They are widely used in the areas such as architecture, art and natural science etc.. On the other hand, subdivision technology has always been active in computer aided design since its invention. The flexibility and high quality of the subdivision surface makes them a powerful tool in geometry modeling and surface designing. In this paper, we ...
متن کاملOn the Number of Minimal Surfaces with a given Boundary
In [TT78], Tomi and Tromba used degree theory to solve a longstanding problem about the existence of minimal surfaces with a prescribed boundary: they proved that every smooth, embedded curve on the boundary of a convex subset of R must bound an embedded minimal disk. Indeed, they proved that a generic such curve must bound an odd number of minimal embedded disks. White [Whi89] generalized thei...
متن کاملOn the Existence of Minimal Surfaces with Singular Boundaries
In 1931, Jesse Douglas showed that in Rn, every set of k rectifiable Jordan curves, with k ≥ 2, bounds an area-minimizing minimal surface with prescribed topological type if a “condition of cohesion” is satisfied. In this paper, it is established that under similar conditions, this result can be extended to non-Jordan curves.
متن کاملRegular Homotopy Classes of Immersed Surfaces
IN this paper we are concerned with the problem of classifying compact surfaces immersed in Iw” up to regular homotopyt. This subject started in 1958 when Smale classified the immersions of the 2-sphere [17]. For n 2 4 the problem was then completely solved by Hirsch ([8], theorems 8.2 and 8.4): if M2 is a compact surface then for n 2 5 any two immersions f, g : M2 + R” are regularly homotopic,...
متن کاملHYDRODYNAMIC WAKES and MINIMAL SURFACES with FRACTAL BOUNDARIES
The observable features of hydrodynamic wakes can be put into correspondence with those characteristic surfaces of tangential discontinuities upon which the solutions to the evolutionary equations of hydrodynamics are not unique. Only the robust minimal surface subset, associated with a harmonic vector field, will be persistent and of minimal dissipation. Surprisingly, those minimal surfaces ge...
