Combinatorial curvature flows for generalized hyperbolic circle packings (2309.08901v1)
Published 16 Sep 2023 in math.DG
Abstract: Generalized circle packings were introduced in \cite{Ba-Hu-Sun} as a generalization of tangential circle packings in hyperbolic background geometry. In this paper, we introduce the combinatorial Calabi flow, fractional combinatorial Calabi flow and combinatorial $p$-th Calabi flow for generalized hyperbolic circle packings. We establish several equivalent conditions regarding the longtime behaviors of these flows. This provides effective algorithms for finding the generalized circle packings with prescribed total geodesic curvatures.
