In this paper, we study the problem of convergence of geodesics on PL-surfaces and in particular on subdivision surfaces. More precisely, if a sequence (Tn)n∈N of PL-surfaces converges in distance and in normals to a smooth surface S and if Cn is a geodesic of Tn (i.e. it is locally a shortest path) such that (Cn)n∈N converges to a curve C, we want to know if the limit curve C is a geodesic of ...

Well-known schemes of subdivision curves and surfaces are modified so that they allow an adaptive refinement. Adaptation is controlled by an error measure which indicates for the vertices of a mesh whether the approximation is sufficient. The adaptive constructions are based on local operations of refining or coarsening. They allow to reach all other subdivisions, in particular the non-adaptive...

Catmull-Clark subdivision scheme provides a powerful method for building smooth and complex surfaces. But the number of faces in the uniformly refined meshes increases sharply with respect to subdivision depth. This paper presents an adaptive subdivision technique as a solution to this problem. Instead of subdivision depths of mesh faces, the adaptive subdivision process is driven by labels of ...

Curve design on manifolds is very important in many applications. We propose a curve subdivision approach based on conformal mapping of manifolds. It is proved by experiments that the resulting curves in some sense have nice smoothness and inherite some properties of subdivision curves in 3 R space, such as the curves might interpolate or approximate the initial points. Some examples are provid...

We introduce a new family of subdivision schemes called jet subdivision schemes. Jet subdivision schemes are a natural generalization of the commonly used subdivision schemes for free-form surface modeling. In an order r jet subdivision scheme, rth order Taylor expansions, or r-jets, of functions are the essential objects being generated in a coarse-to-fine fashion. Standard subdivision surface...

Although previous studies have attempted to address the challenge of land subdivision, there is still a scarcity in the literature on how the extent of conformity to land subdivision planning regulations may be statistically and spatially analyzed. This study, therefore, explores the extent to which residential developers comply with land subdivision planning regulations in Kenya, a case study ...

Expressions for the Zagreb indices and coindices of the total graph, semi-total point graph and of semi-total line graph of subdivision graphs in terms of the parameters of the parent graph are obtained, thus generalizing earlier existing results.

‎In this paper we prove that a simplicial complex is determined‎ ‎uniquely up to isomorphism by its barycentric subdivision as well as‎ ‎its comparability graph‎. ‎We also put together several algebraic‎, ‎combinatorial and topological invariants of simplicial complexes‎.
