Stability of piecewise flat Ricci flow in three dimensions

For a recently developed piecewise flat approximation of the Ricci flow, numerical instabilities are seen to arise for a particularly useful class of mesh-types. Here, a geometrically motivated adaptation to these meshes is introduced, and a linear stability analysis and numerical simulations used...

description For a recently developed piecewise flat approximation of the Ricci flow, numerical instabilities are seen to arise for a particularly useful class of mesh-types. Here, a geometrically motivated adaptation to these meshes is introduced, and a linear stability analysis and numerical simulations used to show that the instability is then suppressed. These adapted meshes have also been successfully used in a recently published paper to show the convergence of the piecewise flat Ricci flow to known smooth Ricci flow solutions for a variety of manifolds.
