A novel symmetric skew-Hamiltonian isotropic Lanczos algorithm for spectral conformal parameterizations (Q487705)

Within the context of geometry processing, the authors deal with spectral conformal parametrization (SCP), which is one of the methods used to compute a quality conformal parametrization based on the spectral techniques. This paper provides three main contributions: 1) nonequivalence deflation, i.e., a deflation technique which transforms the zero eigenvalues of a general eigenvalue problem (GEP) into the infinite ones while preserving all other eigenvalues; 2) null-space free compression, which reduces a GEP to a small-scale standard eigenvalue problem (SEP), based on the low-rank property; 3) \(\mathbb{S}\)HILA algorithm, which is a new symmetric skew-Hamiltonian isotropic Lanczos algorithm to solve the reduced problem. The result is a new, efficient, accurate and robust eigensolver for the SCP. Some numerical examples enlighten these features.
