Review text

The authors describe a minimization algorithm for finding a two- dimensional grid aligned with a pair of vector fields. The problem is reduced to the solution of a pair of second order partial differential equations for the coordinates x and y. Appropriate boundary conditions are prescribed in terms of the boundaries of the region to be covered. Certain difficulties in the numerical solution of the problem are indicated and methods of avoiding them suggested. Some examples are given using both directional and/or orthogonal control.
