Computer Experiments for Circle Packings on Surfaces
Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, Vol. 9, No. 1, pp. 175–182 (2003) Computer Experiments for Circle Packings on Surfaces Shigeru MIZUSHIMA Department of Mathematical and Computing Sciences, Tokyo Institute of Technology, O-okayama, Meguro, Tokyo 152-8552, Japan Received July 1, 2002; final version accepted January 31, 2003 Circle packings on surfaces with complex projective structures were investigated in the previous paper ‘‘Circle packings on surfaces with projective structures’’. This paper describes computer experiments performed in the process. KEYWORDS: circle packings, complex projective structures, computer experiments, visualization 1. Introduction An orientable closed surface Æg of genus g admits a spherical metric (g ¼ 0), a Euclidean metric (g ¼ 1)ora hyperbolic metric (g 2) according to its genus. Though the sphere admits the unique metric essentially, the space of Euclidean metrics on the torus and the space of hyperbolic metrics on a surface with genus higher than one are topologically cells of dimension 2 and 6g À 6 respectively. In spite of these plentifulness of metrics for g 1,the Andreev–Thurston theorem [1, 4] shows the uniqueness of the metric which admits a circle packing for each combinatorial type of a circle packing. In the previous paper [2], we started from the Andreev–Thurston theorem, let the metric structures relax into complex projective structures, and then deformed the structure admitting packing. The main result of the paper states that the space of deformations for packings with one circle is a cell of dimension 2 for g ¼ 1 and 6g À 6 for g 2. (Note that the dimension of the space of complex projective structures on a surface is 4 for g ¼ 1 and 12g À 12 for g 2.) In the process of the study, computer experiments were performed with some programs. -

Approximation of Conformal Mappings by Circle Patterns and Discrete Minimal Surfaces
Approximation of conformal mappings by circle patterns and discrete minimal surfaces vorgelegt von Dipl.-Math. Ulrike Bucking¨ Von der Fakult¨at II – Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften der Technischen Universit¨at Berlin zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Doktorin der Naturwissenschaften – Dr. rer. nat. – genehmigte Dissertation Promotionsausschuss Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr. Volker Mehrmann, Technische Universit¨at Berlin Berichter: Prof. Dr. Alexander I. Bobenko, Technische Universit¨at Berlin Prof. Dr. Yuri B. Suris, Technische Universit¨at Munchen¨ zus¨atzlicher Gutachter: Prof. Kenneth Stephenson, University of Tennessee (USA) Tag der wissenschaftlichen Aussprache: 14. Dezember 2007 Berlin 2007 D 83 i Summary To a rhombic embedding of a planar graph with quadrilateral faces and vertices colored black and white there is an associated isoradial circle pattern C1 with centers of circles at white vertices and radii equal to the edge length. Let C2 be another circle pattern such that the rhombi correspond to kites of intersecting circles with the same intersection angles. We consider the mapping gC which maps the centers of circles and the intersection points to the corresponding points and which is an affine map on the rhombi. Let g be a locally injective holomorphic function. We specify the circle pattern C2 by prescribing the radii or the angles on the boundary corresponding to values of log g0. We show that gC approximates g and its first derivative uniformly on compact subsets and that a suitably normalized sequence converges to g if the radii of C1 converge to 0. In particular, we study the case that C1 is a quasicrystallic circle pattern, that is the number of different edge directions of the rhombic embedding is bounded by a fixed constant (for the whole sequence). -

Packing theory derived from phyllotaxis and products of linear forms S. E. Graiff Zurita*1, B. Kane†2, and R. Oishi-Tomiyasu‡3 1Graduate School of Mathematics, Kyushu University 2Department of Mathematics, University of Hong Kong 3Institute of Mathematics for Industry (IMI), Kyushu University Abstract Parastichies are spiral patterns observed in plants and numerical patterns generated using golden angle method. We generalize this method for botan- ical pattern formation, by using Markoff theory and the theory of product of linear forms, to obtain a theory for (local) packing of any Riemannian mani- folds of general dimensions n with a locally diagonalizable metric, including the Euclidean spaces. Our method is based on the property of some special lattices that the density of the lattice packing maintains a large value for any scale transfor- mations in the directions of the standard Euclidean axes, and utilizes maps that fulfill a system of partial differential equations. Using this method, we prove that it is possible to generate almost uniformly distributed point sets on any real analytic Riemann surfaces. The packing density is bounded below by approximately 0.7. A packing with logarithmic-spirals and a 3D analogue of the Vogel spi- ral are obtained as a result. We also provide a method to construct (n + 1)- dimensional Riemannian manifolds with diagonal and constant-determinant metrics from n-dimensional manifolds with such a metric, which generally works for n = 1;2. The obtained manifolds have the self-similarity of bio- logical
