Sinopsis

This volume collects the papers accepted for presentation at the 11th IMA Conference on the Mathematics of Surfaces, held at Loughborough University, 5th-7th September 2005. As with all earlier conferences in the series, contri- tors to this volume comefrom manycountries. The paperspresented herere?ect the interest in a subject of relevance to mathematics, engineering,and computer science, especially in domains such as computer-aided design, computer vision, and computer graphics. The papers in the present volume include eight invited papers, as well as a larger number of submitted papers. They cover a range of ideas from - derlying theoretical tools to industrial and medical uses of surfaces. The latter category includes such diverse topics as surfaces in car design, and modelling of teeth, while the former includes papers on Voronoi diagrams, linear systems, estimation of curvatures on meshes, operators on meshes, intersection of sub- vision surfaces, approximate parameterization,condition numbers, Pythagorean hodographs,artifactsinB-splinesurfaces,B´ eziersurfacesofminimalenergy,line subdivision, subdivision surfaces, level sets and symmetry, the topology of - gebraic surfaces, curve analysis, interpolation with positivity, and conversion of cyclides to NURBS. Other papers concentrate on particular algorithms arising from applications, such as embedding graphs in manifolds, recoveryof 3D shape from shading, ?nding optimal feedrates for machining, detection of creases in range data, and ?lling holes in range data. We would like to thank all those who attended the conference and helped to make it a success.
