For a given mesh, different parametrizations can be obtained by different methods. And for a certain application, some parametrization results might behave better than others. In this paper, we will propose a method to parametrize a genus-zero mesh so that a surface fitting algorithm with PHT-splines can generate good result. Here the parametrization results are obtained by minimizing discrete har- monic energy subject to spherical constraints. Then some applications are given to illustrate the advantages of our results. Based on PHT-splines, parametric surfaces can be constructed efficiently and adaptively to fit genus-zero meshes after their spherical parametrization has been obtained.展开更多

Yan used harmonic map to study the topology of a non-compact complete stable hypersurface in a manifold of non-negative curvature. Essentially the method is to prove first the nonexistence of some kind of nonconstant harmonic map and then to draw the relative conclusions concerning the topology. Such nonexistence theorems have been obtained in [3] and [4] in cases where the concerned manifolds are compact. The aim of this paper is to study the non-compact complete case. Our main results can be stated as follows.展开更多
