Discrete Differential Operators on Polygonal Meshes

Fernando de Goes, Andrew Butts, Mathieu Desbrun
April 2020

Geometry processing of surface meshes relies heavily on the discretization of differential operators such as gradient, Laplacian, and covariant derivative. While a variety of discrete operators over triangulated meshes have been developed and used for decades, a similar construction over polygonal meshes remains far less explored despite the prevalence of ... more
