Discrete linear Weingarten surfaces (1406.1293v2)

Abstract: Discrete linear Weingarten surfaces in space forms are characterized as special discrete $\Omega$-nets, a discrete analogue of Demoulin's $\Omega$-surfaces. It is shown that the Lie-geometric deformation of $\Omega$-nets descends to a Lawson transformation for discrete linear Weingarten surfaces, which coincides with the well-known Lawson correspondence in the constant mean curvature case.
