A Novel Bijective Angle and Volume-preservation Balanced Parameterization for $n$-dimensional Manifolds
Abstract
We propose a unified framework for balanced and bijective parameterizations of -dimensional manifolds. The proposed energy combines conformal and volume-preserving terms to control both local anisotropy and volumetric distortion. At the continuous level, both energies are nonnegative and their zero-energy mappings are characterized. At the discrete level, the conformal, volume-preserving, and logarithmic barrier energies are formulated on oriented simplicial manifolds. A key result is that all their gradients admit a unified cotangent Laplacian-type representation, enabling sparse and dimension-independent computation. Bijectivity is enforced through signed simplex Jacobians, feasibility restoration, and a strictly orientation-preserving logarithmic barrier. The framework applies uniformly to spherical boundary parameterizations and parameterizations of discrete -manifolds onto ball-like canonical domains.
