Constructing isothermal curvature line coordinates on surfaces which admit them

Eugenio Aulisa, Magdalena Toda, Zeynep Kose (2013)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

Isothermic parameterizations are synonyms of isothermal curvature line parameterizations, for surfaces immersed in Euclidean spaces. We provide a method of constructing isothermic coordinate charts on surfaces which admit them, starting from an arbitrary chart. One of the primary applications of this work consists of numerical algorithms for surface visualization.

Timelike Christoffel pairs in the split-quaternions

M. P. Dussan, M. Magid (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We characterize the Christoffel pairs of timelike isothermic surfaces in the four-dimensional split-quaternions. When restricting the receiving space to the three-dimensional imaginary split-quaternions, we establish an equivalent condition for a timelike surface in ℝ³₂ to be real or complex isothermic in terms of the existence of integrating factors.
