چکیده

We use Andreev-Thurston's theorem on the existence of circle packings to construct approximating solutions to the Beltrami equations on Riemann surfaces. The convergence of the approximating solutions on compact subsets will be shown. This gives a constructive proof of the existence theorem for Beltrami equations.

ON MAXWELL'S STRESS FUNCTIONS FOR SOLVING THREE DIMENSIONAL ELASTICITY PROBLEMS IN THE THEORY OF ELASTICITY

The governing equations of three dimensional elasticity problems include the six Beltrami-Michell stress compatibility equations, the three differential equations of equilibrium, and the six material constitutive relations; and these are usually solved subject to the boundary conditions. The system of fifteen differential equations is usually difficult to solve, and simplified methods are usual...

Surface Quasi-Conformal Mapping by Solving Beltrami Equations

We consider the problem of constructing quasi-conformal mappings between surfaces by solving Beltrami equations. This is of great importance for shape registration. In the physical world, most surface deformations can be rigorously modeled as quasi-conformal maps. The local deformation is characterized by a complex-value function, Beltrami coefficient, which describes the deviation from conform...

Discrete Z γ : embedded circle patterns with the combinatorics of the square grid and discrete Painlevé equations

A discrete analogue of the holomorphic map z γ is studied. It is given by Schramm's circle pattern with the combinatorics of the square grid. It is shown that the corresponding circle patterns are embedded and described by special separatrix solutions of discrete Painlevé equations. Global properties of these solutions, as well as of the discrete z γ , are established.

The unified discrete surface Ricci flow

Ricci flow deforms the Riemannian metric proportionally to the curvature, such that the curvature evolves according to a heat diffusion process and eventually becomes constant everywhere. Ricci flow has demonstrated its great potential by solving various problems in many fields, which can be hardly handled by alternative methods so far. This work introduces the unified theoretic framework for d...
