The Semi-Arc Automorphism Group of a Graph with Application to Map Enumeration
A map is a connected topological graph cellularly embedded in a surface. For a given graph , its genus distribution of rooted maps and embeddings on orientable and non-orientable s...

Provably Good Surface Sampling and Approximation
We present an algorithm for meshing surfaces that is a simple adaptation of a greedy “farthest point” technique proposed by Chew. Given a surface S, it progressively adds poin...

A Deformable Surface Model for Real-Time Water Drop Animation
—A water drop behaves differently from a large water body because of its strong viscosity and surface tension under the small scale. Surface tension causes the motion of a water ...

Discrete Surface Ricci Flow: Theory and Applications
Conformal geometry is in the core of pure mathematics. Conformal structure is more flexible than Riemaniann metric but more rigid than topology. Conformal geometric methods have p...
