  text: Physics simulation in computer graphics can bring triangle meshes into topologically
    invalid states. The method in this thesis contributed to Heiss-Synak* and Kalinov*
    et al. [2024] who devised a non-manifold hybrid surface tracker—a surface tracker
    that repairs explicit non-manifold triangle meshes with the help of the implicit
    domain. Specifically, this thesis provides an algorithm for filling the holes
    that are left after removing problematic parts of the mesh.
