We discuss discretization of Koenigs nets (conjugate nets with equal Laplace invariants) and of isothermic surfaces. Our discretization is based on the notion of dual quadrilaterals: two planar quadrilaterals are called dual, if their…
Discrete Koenigs nets are a special class of discrete surfaces that play a fundamental role in discrete differential geometry, in particular in the study of discrete isothermic and minimal surfaces. Recently, it was shown by Bobenko and…
We give an elaborated treatment of discrete isothermic surfaces and their analogs in different geometries (projective, M\"obius, Laguerre, Lie). We find the core of the theory to be a novel projective characterization of discrete isothermic…
We introduce the Koenigs lattice, which is a new integrable reduction of the quadrilateral lattice (discrete conjugate net) and provides natural integrable discrete analogue of the Koenigs net. We construct the Darboux-type transformations…
We provide a convincing discretisation of Demoulin's $\Omega$-surfaces along with their specialisations to Guichard and isothermic surfaces with no loss of integrable structure.
Confocal quadrics lie at the heart of the system of confocal coordinates (also called elliptic coordinates, after Jacobi). We suggest a discretization which respects two crucial properties of confocal coordinates: separability and all…
We investigate the common underlying discrete structures for various smooth and discrete nets. The main idea is to impose the characteristic properties of the nets not only on elementary quadrilaterals but also on larger parameter…
Conjugate line parametrizations of surfaces were first discretized almost a century ago as quad meshes with planar faces. With the recent development of discrete differential geometry, two discretizations of principal curvature line…
We found a class of triangulated surfaces in Euclidean space which have similar properties as isothermic surfaces in Differential Geometry. We call a surface isothermic if it admits an infinitesimal isometric deformation preserving the mean…
In the projective plane, we consider congruences of straight lines with the combinatorics of the square grid and with all elementary quadrilaterals possessing touching inscribed conics. The inscribed conics of two combinatorially…
We present a discrete theory for modeling developable surfaces as quadrilateral meshes satisfying simple angle constraints. The basis of our model is a lesser known characterization of developable surfaces as manifolds that can be…
Discrete conjugate systems are quadrilateral nets with all planar faces. Discrete orthogonal systems are defined by the additional property of all faces being concircular. Their geometric properties allow one to consider them as proper…
We consider congruences of straight lines in a plane with the combinatorics of the square grid, with all elementary quadrilaterals possessing an incircle. It is shown that all the vertices of such nets (we call them incircular or IC-nets)…
We consider discrete nets in Grassmannians $\mathbb{G}^d_r$ which generalize Q-nets (maps $\mathbb{Z}^N\to\mathbb{P}^d$ with planar elementary quadrilaterals) and Darboux nets ($\mathbb{P}^d$-valued maps defined on the edges of…
Using a quaternionic calculus, the Christoffel, Darboux, Goursat, and spectral transformations for discrete isothermic nets are described, with their interrelations. The Darboux and spectral transformations are used to define discrete…
Principal binets are a discretization of curvature line parametrized surfaces defined on the vertices and faces of the square lattice $\Z^2$. They generalize the previously established discretizations given by circular nets, conical nets,…
We introduce the dual Koenigs lattices, which are the integrable discrete analogues of conjugate nets with equal tangential invariants, and we find the corresponding reduction of the fundamental transformation. We also introduce the notion…
We present a procedure which allows one to integrate explicitly the class of checkerboard IC-nets which has recently been introduced as a generalisation of incircular (IC) nets. The latter class of privileged congruences of lines in the…
Asymptotic net is an important concept in discrete differential geometry. In this paper, we show that we can associate affine discrete geometric concepts to an arbitrary non-degenerate asymptotic net. These concepts include discrete affine…
We prove that all discrete isothermic nets with a family of planar or spherical lines of curvature can be obtained from special discrete holomorphic maps via lifted-folding. This novel approach is a generalization and discretization of a…
