Generalized Barycentric Coordinates in Computer Graphics and Computational Mechanics
In Generalized Barycentric Coordinates in Computer Graphics and Computational Mechanics, eminent computer graphics and computational mechanics researchers provide a state-of-the-art overview of generalized barycentric coordinates. Commonly used in cutting-edge applications such as mesh parametrization, image warping, mesh deformation, and finite as well as boundary element methods, the theory of barycentric coordinates is also fundamental for use in animation and in simulating the deformation of solid continua. Generalized Barycentric Coordinates is divided into three sections, with five chapters each, covering the theoretical background, as well as their use in computer graphics and computational mechanics. A vivid 16-page insert helps illustrating the stunning applications of this fascinating research area. Key Features: Provides an overview of the many different types of barycentric coordinates and their properties. Discusses diverse applications of barycentric coordinates in computer graphics and computational mechanics. The first book-length treatment on this topic
New Trends in Shape Modelling and Approximation Methods
This book presents recent research results from a selection of the talks presented in the international symposium “New Trends in Approximation and Applications”, held at Oujda, Morocco, in June 2022. The various chapters describe developments in approximation and its different applications including approximation methods in Numerical Analysis, curves and surfaces in CAGD, interpolation and smoothing, shape modelling and computational topology, subdivision schemes and applications, wavelets, and multiresolution methods. The book is addressed to researchers in all of these areas as well as in general mathematical modelling.
BEM-based Finite Element Approaches on Polytopal Meshes
This book introduces readers to one of the first methods developed for the numerical treatment of boundary value problems on polygonal and polyhedral meshes, which it subsequently analyzes and applies in various scenarios. The BEM-based finite element approaches employs implicitly defined trial functions, which are treated locally by means of boundary integral equations. A detailed construction of high-order approximation spaces is discussed and applied to uniform, adaptive and anisotropic polytopal meshes. The main benefits of these general discretizations are the flexible handling they offer for meshes, and their natural incorporation of hanging nodes. This can especially be seen in adaptive finite element strategies and when anisotropic meshes are used. Moreover, this approach allows for problem-adapted approximation spaces as presented for convection-dominated diffusion equations. All theoretical results and considerations discussed in the book are verified and illustrated by several numerical examples and experiments. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to mathematicians in the field of boundary value problems, engineers with a (mathematical) background in finite element methods, and advanced graduate students.
