On Vertex Offsets of Polyhedral Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Planar-faced mesh surfaces, also known as polyhedral surfaces, that possess vertex-offsets are useful in architectural design for constructing supporting structures, and also of interest in discrete differential geometry. We consider the existence and computation of vertex-offset meshes of general polyhedral surfaces and, specifically, study how the existence of vertex offsets is dictated by the face shape, mesh surface geometry and mesh surface topology. This extends the study in [Pottmann et al. 2007; Pottmann and Wallner 2008] on vertex-offset meshes of simply-connected circular quad meshes.

On offsets and curvatures for discrete and semidiscrete surfaces
This paper studies semidiscrete surfaces from the viewpoint of parallelity, offsets, and curvatures. We show how various relevant classes of surfaces are defined by means of an appropriate notion of infinitesimal quadrilateral, how offset surfaces behave in the semidiscrete case, and how to extend and apply the mixed-area based curvature theory which has been developed for polyhedral surfaces.
متن کاملNonrealizable Minimal Vertex Triangulations of Surfaces: Showing Nonrealizability Using Oriented Matroids and Satisfiability Solvers
We show that no minimal vertex triangulation of a closed, connected, orientable 2-manifold of genus 6 admits a polyhedral embedding in R. We also provide examples of minimal vertex triangulations of closed, connected, orientable 2-manifolds of genus 5 that do not admit any polyhedral embeddings. We construct a new infinite family of non-realizable triangulations of surfaces. These results were ...
متن کاملLight stars in large polyhedral maps on surfaces
It is well known that every polyhedral map with large enough number of vertices contains a vertex of degree at most 6. In this paper the existence of stars having low degree sum of their vertices in polyhedral maps is investigated. We will prove: if G is a polyhedral map on compact 2-manifold M with non-positive Euler characteristic (M) and G has more than 149| (M)| vertices then G contains an ...
متن کاملOn the Convergence of Metric and Geometric Properties of Polyhedral Surfaces
We provide conditions for convergence of polyhedral surfaces and their discrete geometric properties to smooth surfaces embedded in Euclidean 3-space. Under the assumption of convergence of surfaces in Hausdorff distance, we show that convergence of the following properties are equivalent: surface normals, surface area, metric tensors, and Laplace-Beltrami operators. Additionally, we derive con...
متن کاملLocal Structures in Polyhedral Maps on Surfaces, and Path Transferability of Graphs
We extend Jendrol’ and Skupień’s results about the local structure of maps on the 2-sphere: In this paper we show that if a polyhedral map G on a surface M of Euler characteristic χ(M) ≤ 0 has more than 126|χ(M)| vertices, then G has a vertex with ”nearly” non-negative combinatorial curvature. As a corollary of this, we can deduce that path transferability of such graphs are at most 12. keyword...
