چکیده

We present an algorithm for completing a C surface of up to degree bi-6 by capping an n-sided hole with polar layout. The cap consists of n tensor-product patches, each of degree 6 in the periodic and degree 5 in the radial direction. To match the polar layout, one edge of these patches is collapsed. We explore and compare with alternative constructions, based on more pieces or using total-degree, triangular patches.

On Patchworks and Hierarchies

Motivated by questions in biological classification, we discuss some elementary combinatorial and computational properties of certain set systems that generalize hierarchies, namely, ‘patchworks’, ‘weak patchworks’, ‘ample patchworks’ and ‘saturated patchworks’ and also outline how these concepts relate to an apparently new ‘duality theory’ for cluster systems that is based on the fundamental c...

Guided Subdivision

Curvature continuous surfaces with subdivision structure are constructed by higher-order sampling of a piecewise polynomial guide surface, at positions defined and derivatives weighted by a special, scalable reparametrization. Two variants are developed. One variant applies to the conventional sprocket subdivision layout, say of Catmull-Clark subdivision, i.e. nested rings consisting of N copie...

A nonlinear partial differential equation for the volume preserving mean curvature flow

We analyze the evolution of multi-dimensional normal graphs over the unit sphere under volume preserving mean curvature flow and derive a non-linear partial differential equation in polar coordinates. Furthermore, we construct finite difference numerical schemes and present numerical results for the evolution of non-convex closed plane curves under this flow, to observe that they become convex ...

High-Dimensional Menger-Type Curvatures - Part I: Geometric Multipoles and Multiscale Inequalities

We define discrete Menger-type curvature of d+2 points in a real separable Hilbert space H by an appropriate scaling of the squared volume of the corresponding (d+1)-simplex. We then form a continuous curvature of an Ahlfors regular measure μ on H by integrating the discrete curvature according to products of μ (or its restriction to balls). The essence of this work, which continues in a subseq...

Curvature continuous bi-4 constructions for scaffold- and sphere-like surfaces

Scaffold surfaces bound geometric structures that have a dual characterization as a curve network and a solid. A subset of scaffold surfaces can be modeled with minimal single-valence (MSV) meshes, i.e. meshes consisting of vertices of a single irregular valence n two of which are separated by exactly one regular, 4-valent vertex. We present an algorithm for constructing piecewise biquartic sur...
