PDE-Based Gradient Limiting for Mesh Size Functions
We propose a new method for limiting the gradients in a mesh size function by solving a non-linear partial differential equation on the background mesh. Our gradient limiting Ham...

PageRank as a function of the damping factor
PageRank is defined as the stationary state of a Markov chain. The chain is obtained by perturbing the transition matrix induced by a web graph with a damping factor that spreads...
