- Abstract:
-
Alexandrov's Theorem states that every metric with the global topology
and local geometry required of a convex polyhedron is in fact the
intrinsic metric of some convex polyhedron. Recent work by Bobenko
and Izmestiev describes a differential equation whose solution is the
polyhedron corresponding to a given metric. We describe an algorithm
based on this differential equation to compute the polyhedron to
arbitrary precision given the metric, and prove a pseudopolynomial
bound on its running time.
