Title: A couple of problems in the area of polygonal surfaces Speaker: Jian Sun, Tsinghua University Time/Date: Friday, Feb 10, 11-12 Location: Room 3416 Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce a couple of problems in the area of polygonal surfaces that I am working on. One is about find an embedding for a polygonal surface with a given metric. Our motivating application is in analyzing deformable shapes. The other is about evolving metric of polygonal surfaces, in particular, focusing on the interaction between curvature and metric.
