Solving Elliptic Finite Element Systems in Near-Linear Time with Support Preconditioners
We consider linear systems arising from the use of the finite element method for solving a certain class of linear elliptic problems. Our main result is that these linear systems, ...

Axioms and variational problems in surface parameterization
For a surface patch on a smooth, two-dimensional surface in IR3 , low-distortion parameterizations are described in terms of minimizers of suitable energy functionals. Appropriate...
