The goal of this post is to implement certain time-continuous flows on discrete space curves. By a time-continuous flow of a closed discrete space curve \(\gamma\colon \mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z \to \mathbb R^3\) we mean the continuous solution of an equation\[\dot\gamma … Continue reading →

Under a discrete space curve \(\gamma\) we understand a (finite or periodic) sequence \(\gamma_i\) of points in \(\mathbb R^3\). The \(i\)-th edge vector is then denoted by \(e_i = \gamma_{i+1} – \gamma_i\) and has length \(\ell_i = |e_i|\). If \(\ell_i\neq … Continue reading →
