http://imechanica.org/node/2530 Comments for "Geometric Design, Computer Graphics, and FEM" en http://imechanica.org/node/2530 <p> I recently participated in a minisymposium (<a href="http://www.math.vanderbilt.edu/~gdc07/" target="_blank">SIAM Conference</a> ), where geometric modeling, graphics, and finite elements were the focus. Over the past 4 to 5 years, there has been a lot of interest in the construction of barycentric coordinates on polygons/polyhedra, and the minisymposium brought together many of us with common interests. </p> <p> There are many open-questions, interesting connections to be established, and potential applications (in FEM/solution of PDEs) that can be explored. As a follow-up to the minisymposium, a web page has been created that provides links to many online resources. If you&#39;re inclined, you can take a look at <a href="http://www2.in.tu-clausthal.de/~hormann/barycentric/index.html" target="_blank">Barycentric Coordinates and Transfinite Interpolation</a> for more information. </p> <br class="clear" /> http://imechanica.org/node/2530#comments research barycentric coordinates Mon, 07 Jan 2008 17:52:44 -0500 N.
