We use the $p$-Laplacian with large $p$-values in order to approximate geodesic distances to features on surfaces. This differs from Fayolle and Belyaev's (2018) [1] computational results using the $p$-Laplacian for the distance-to-surface…

We consider circles on a translation surface $X$, consisting of points joined to a common center point by a geodesic of length $R$. We show that as $R \to \infty$ these circles distribute to a measure on $X$ which is equivalent to the area.…
