We extend a classical approximation result of harmonic functions in planar domains due to Bernstein and Walsch to the setting of harmonic functions in Riemann surfaces. This result gives an exact characterization of the rate at which a…

Constructing well-behaved Laplacian and mass matrices is essential for tetrahedral mesh processing. Unfortunately, the \emph{de facto} standard linear finite elements exhibit bias on tetrahedralized regular grids, motivating the development…

In geometry processing, smoothness energies are commonly used to model scattered data interpolation, dense data denoising, and regularization during shape optimization. The squared Laplacian energy is a popular choice of energy and has a…

At present, most surface-quality prediction methods can only perform single-task prediction which results in under-utilised datasets, repetitive work and increased experimental costs. To counter this, the authors propose a Bayesian…

We give cohomological criteria for logarithmic good reduction of elliptic surfaces up to modification. Along the way, we prove several more general results about such surfaces in positive characteristic, as well as about log smooth…

The Gaussian curvature of a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold is uniquely determined by the choice of the metric. The formulas for computing the curvature in terms of components of the metric, in isothermal coordinates, involve the…

We discuss notions of Gauss curvature and mean curvature for polyhedral surfaces. The discretizations are guided by the principle of preserving integral relations for curvatures, like the Gauss/Bonnet theorem and the mean-curvature force…

We review some regularity results for the Laplacian and $p$-Laplacian in metric measure spaces. The focus is mainly on interior H\"older, Lipschitz and second-regularity estimates and on spaces supporting a Poincar\'e inequality or having…
