An IGA framework for PDE-based planar parameterization on convex multipatch domains (Q1979747)

This article discusses an elliptic grid generation algorithm for the generation of planar parameterizations with locally reduced smoothness (in the class \(C^0\)-continuous bases). The approach relies on an iterative Newton-Krylov method operating on the Schur-complement of the linear part of the resulting nonlinear system of equations, which operates efficiently and reduces memory requirements. As application, the authors discuss single and multipatch parameterizations in some specific settings. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1467.65001].
