Discrete surfaces of constant mean curvature via dressing
نویسنده
چکیده
We start in Section 2 with the definition of the discrete (standard) cylinder as an example of a discrete CMC-surface in the sense of Bobenko and Pinkall [3, 4] (Definition 2.4). This will also lead to the introduction of so called extended frames for discrete CMC-surfaces. These definitions will describe the discrete analogues of CMC-surfaces without umbilics in an isothermic parametrization. Then we introduce the dressing action on the cylinder to generate a large class of such discrete CMC-surfaces along the lines of [17].

A discrete version of the Darboux transform for isothermic surfaces
We study Christoffel and Darboux transforms of discrete isothermic nets in 4-dimensional Euclidean space: definitions and basic properties are derived. Analogies with the smooth case are discussed and a definition for discrete Ribaucour congruences is given. Surfaces of constant mean curvature are special among all isothermic surfaces: they can be characterized by the fact that their parallel c...
متن کاملSemi-discrete Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces
We study semi-discrete surfaces in three dimensional euclidean space which are defined on a parameter domain consisting of one smooth and one discrete parameter. More precisely, we consider only those surfaces which are glued together from individual developable surface strips. In particular we investigate minimal surfaces and constant mean curvature (cmc) surfaces with non vanishing mean curva...

In this paper, we show that an $L_1$-2-type surface in the three-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^3subset R^4_1$ either is an open piece of a standard Riemannian product $ H^1(-sqrt{1+r^2})times S^{1}(r)$, or it has non constant mean curvature, non constant Gaussian curvature, and non constant principal curvatures.

In this paper, we give a height estimate for constant mean curvature graphs.

Introduction The surfaces with constant mean curvature are the mathematical modelling of soap films. These surfaces appe...
متن کاملDiscrete Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces and Their Index
We define triangulated piecewise linear constant mean curvature surfaces using a variational characterization. These surfaces are critical for area amongst continuous piecewise linear variations which preserve the boundary conditions, the simplicial structures, and (in the nonminimal case) the volume to one side of the surfaces. We then find explicit formulas for complete examples, such as disc...
