Oriented Mixed Area and Discrete Minimal Surfaces
Recently a curvature theory for polyhedral surfaces has been established which associates with each face a mean curvature value computed from areas and mixed areas of that face and its corresponding Gauss image face. Therefore a study of minimal surfaces requires studying pairs of polygons with vanishing mixed area. We show that the mixed area of two edgewise parallel polygons equals the mixed ...
متن کاملMinimal Discrete Curves and Surfaces
In this thesis, we apply the ideas from combinatorial optimization to find globally optimal solutions arising in discrete and continuous minimization problems. Though we limit ourselves with the 1and 2-dimensional surfaces, our methods can be easily generalized to higher dimensions. We start with a continuous N -dimensional variational problem and show that under very general conditions it can ...
متن کاملInfinitesimally flexible meshes and discrete minimal surfaces
We explore the geometry of isothermic meshes, conical meshes, and asymptotic meshes around the Christoffel dual construction of a discrete minimal surface. We present a discrete Legendre transform which realizes discrete minimal surfaces as conical meshes. Conical meshes turn out to be infinitesimally flexible if and only if their spherical image is isothermic, which implies that discrete minim...
متن کاملComputing Discrete Minimal Surfaces and Their Conjugates
We present a new algorithm to compute stable discrete minimal surfaces bounded by a number of Þxed or free boundary curves in R, S and H. The algorithm makes no restriction on the genus and can handle singular triangulations. For a discrete harmonic map a conjugation process is presented leading in case of minimal surfaces additionally to instable solutions of the free boundary value problem fo...
متن کاملComputational Aspects of Discrete Minimal Surfaces
In differential geometry the study of smooth submanifolds with distinguished curvature properties has a long history and belongs to the central themes of this Þeld. Modern work on smooth submanifolds, and on surfaces in particular, relies heavily on geometric and analytic machinery which has evolved over hundreds of years. However, non-smooth surfaces are also natural mathematical objects, even...
