Convergence of combinatorial Ricci flows to degenerate circle patterns

Differential Geometry 2018-08-21 v2 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We investigate the combinatorial Ricci flow on a surface of nonpositive Euler characteristic when the necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of the combinatorial Ricci flow is not valid. This observation addresses one of questions raised by B. Chow and F. Luo.
