Discrete conformal mappings and Riemann Surfaces: Theory and Applications

B9 L2 H2

The general idea of discrete differential geometry is to find and investigate discrete models that exhibit properties and structures characterisitic of the corresponding smooth geometric objects. This is a challenging problem, since equivalent points of view in the smooth setting may lead to a number of inequivalent treatments in the discrete setting. We will illustrate the paradigm of structure-preserving discretizations on the example of conformal maps by showing how simple definitions lead to surprisingly rich theories.
