A finite set of points with weights specifies a closed surface in space referred to as skin. It consists of one or more components, each tangent continuous and free of self-intersections and intersections with other components. The skin varies continuously with the weights and locations of the points, and the variation includes the possibility of a topology change facilitated by the violation of tangent continuity at a single point in space and time. Applications of the skin to molecular modeling and to geometric deformation are discussed."}],"year":"1999","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0179-5376"]},"issue":"1","publisher":"Springer"}
