Numerical Geometry, Grid Generation and Scientific Computing

The focus of these conference proceedings is on research, development, and applications in the fields of numerical geometry, scientific computing and numerical simulation, particularly in mesh generation and related problems. In addition, this year's special focus is on Delaunay triangulations and their applications, celebrating the 130th birthday of Boris Delaunay. In terms of content, the book strikes a balance between engineering algorithms and mathematical foundations. It presents an overview of recent advances in numerical geometry, grid generation and adaptation in terms of mathematical foundations, algorithm and software development and applications. The specific topics covered include quasi-conformal and quasi-isometric mappings, hyperplastic deformations, multidimensional generalizations of the equidistributional principle, discrete differential geometry, spatial and metric encodings, Voronoi-Delaunay theory for tiling's and partitions, duality in mathematical programming and numerical geometry, mesh-based optimization and optimal control methods. Further aspects examined include iterative solvers for variational problems and algorithm and software development. The applications of the methods discussed are multidisciplinary and include problems from mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, material science, and engineering.
