--- res: bibo_abstract: - The construction of anisotropic triangulations is desirable for various applications, such as the numerical solving of partial differential equations and the representation of surfaces in graphics. To solve this notoriously difficult problem in a practical way, we introduce the discrete Riemannian Voronoi diagram, a discrete structure that approximates the Riemannian Voronoi diagram. This structure has been implemented and was shown to lead to good triangulations in $\mathbb{R}^2$ and on surfaces embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$ as detailed in our experimental companion paper. In this paper, we study theoretical aspects of our structure. Given a finite set of points $\mathcal{P}$ in a domain $\Omega$ equipped with a Riemannian metric, we compare the discrete Riemannian Voronoi diagram of $\mathcal{P}$ to its Riemannian Voronoi diagram. Both diagrams have dual structures called the discrete Riemannian Delaunay and the Riemannian Delaunay complex. We provide conditions that guarantee that these dual structures are identical. It then follows from previous results that the discrete Riemannian Delaunay complex can be embedded in $\Omega$ under sufficient conditions, leading to an anisotropic triangulation with curved simplices. Furthermore, we show that, under similar conditions, the simplices of this triangulation can be straightened.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jean-Daniel foaf_name: Boissonnat, Jean-Daniel foaf_surname: Boissonnat - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Mael foaf_name: Rouxel-Labbé, Mael foaf_surname: Rouxel-Labbé - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Mathijs foaf_name: Wintraecken, Mathijs foaf_surname: Wintraecken foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=307CFBC8-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0002-7472-2220 bibo_doi: 10.1137/17m1152292 bibo_issue: '3' bibo_volume: 48 dct_date: 2019^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/0097-5397 - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1095-7111 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM)@ dct_title: Anisotropic triangulations via discrete Riemannian Voronoi diagrams@ ...
