A conformal energy for simplicial surfaces

Differential Geometry 2017-08-25 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

A new functional for simplicial surfaces is suggested. It is invariant with respect to Moebius transformations and is a discrete analogue of the Willmore functional. Minima of this functional are investigated. as an application a bending energy for discrete thin-shells is derived.
