Hexagonal circle patterns with constant intersection angles and discrete Painlevé and Riccati equations

چکیده
Hexagonal circle patterns with constant intersection angles mimicking holomorphic maps z and log(z) are studied. It is shown that the corresponding circle patterns are immersed and described by special separatrix solutions of discrete Painlevé and Riccati equations. The general solution of the Riccati equation is expressed in terms of the hypergeometric function. Global properties of these solutions, as well as of the discrete z and log(z), are established. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1586966#

Discrete Z and Painlevé equations
Circle patterns as discrete analogs of conformal mappings is a fast-developing field of research on the border of analysis and geometry. Recent progress in their investigation was initiated by Thurston’s idea (see [18]) about approximating the Riemann mapping by circle packings. The corresponding convergence was proven by Rodin and Sullivan in [15]. For hexagonal packings, it was established by...
متن کاملApproximation of conformal mappings by circle patterns and discrete minimal surfaces
To a rhombic embedding of a planar graph with quadrilateral faces and vertices colored black and white there is an associated isoradial circle pattern C 1 with centers of circles at white vertices and radii equal to the edge length. Let C 2 be another circle pattern such that the rhombi correspond to kites of intersecting circles with the same intersection angles. We consider the mapping g C wh...

The theory of circle packings and, more generally, of circle patterns enjoys in recent years a fast development and a growing interest of specialists in complex analysis and discrete mathematics. This interest was initiated by Thurston’s rediscovery of the Koebe-Andreev theorem [K] about circle packing realizations of cell complexes of a prescribed combinatorics and by his idea about approximat...

Hexagonal circle patterns are introduced, and a subclass thereof is studied in detail. It is characterized by the following property: For every circle the multi-ratio of its six intersection points with neighboring circles is equal to −1. The relation of such patterns with an integrable system on the regular triangular lattice is established. A kind of a Bäcklund transformation for circle patte...
