Abstract

This paper deals with two approximation methods for obtaining the optimal deformable model: a discretization scheme by finite differences that generates an algorithm providing the approximating solution for energy-minimizing surfaces and a reconstruction method based on the Chebyshev discrete best approximation which approximates a plane deformable model represented by a finite set of points. Estimates for the approximation-error of these methods and results concerning their convergence or the topological structure of the set of unbounded divergence are presented, too.
