We compare inexact Newton and coordinate descent methods for optimizing the quality of a mesh by repositioning the vertices, where quality is measured by the harmonic mean of the ...

In the finite element analysis that deals with large deformation, the process usually produces distorted elements at the later stages of the analysis. These distorted elements lea...

We introduce an indexing scheme for the vertices of semi-regular meshes, based on interleaving quadtrees rooted on the edges of the base mesh. Using this indexing scheme we develo...

We present several mesh smoothing schemes based on the concept of optimal Delaunay triangulations. We define the optimal Delaunay triangulation (ODT) as the triangulation that mi...

The aim of this paper is to study the feasibility of using (irreversible) entropy production as driving force for a moving mesh. Such a method should be able to capture or track p...
