Abstract
Surface Ricci flow is a powerful tool to design Riemannian metric of a surface such that the metric induces a user-defined Gaussian curvature function on the surface. The metric is conformal (i.e., angle-preserving) to the original one of surface. For engineering applications, smooth surfaces are approximated by discrete ones. This chapter introduces computational algorithms of Ricci flow on piecewise linear triangular meshes.
