Affascinanti forme per oggetti topologici

  • Conference paper
Matematica e cultura 2011

Part of the book series: Matematica e cultura ((MACU))

Riassunto

La topologia è lo studio delle forme deformabili; per disegnare un’immagine di un oggetto topologico è necessario scegliere una forma geometrica particolare. Una strategia è quella di minimizzare un’energia geometrica del tipo che si presenta anche in molte situazioni fisiche. I minimizzatori di energia o forme ottimali sono spesso anche esteticamente interessanti.
