Abstract: The main objective of this study is to understand how geometric hyper-ideal circle patterns can be constructed from given combinatorial angle data. We design a hybrid method consisting of a topological/deformation approach augmented with a variational principle. In this way, together with the question of characterization of hyper-ideal patterns in terms of angle data, we address their constructability via convex optimization. We presents a new proof of the main results from Jean-Marc Schlenker's work on hyper-ideal circle patterns by developing an approach that is potentially more suitable for applications.

Review text

The author proposes a new proof to a result on how hyper-ideal circle patterns can be reconstructed from given combinatorial angle data from [\textit{J.-M. Schlenker}, Discrete Comput. Geom. 40, No. 1, 47--102 (2008; Zbl 1191.52013)]. More precisely, the focus of the paper is on the existence, uniqueness and construction of hyper-ideal circle patterns with prescribed combinatorics and intersection angles between adjacent circles. The importance of the new approach resides in the fact that is potentially more suitable for applications than the original one and thus can lead to a more direct convex variational principle. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of circle patterns are provided as well.
