Abstract

This chapter presents a number of other application areas (which have not been discussed in previous chapters) which can benefit from using PDEs for geometric design. Particularly, in this chapter we show how PDEs can be effectively used for animation, data representation and compression. Furthermore, we discuss an emerging area of research where PDE based geometric design is being related to traditional spline based techniques.
