Alexandrov’s theorem, weighted Delaunay triangulations, and mixed volumes

Alexander I. Bobenko, Ivan Izmestiev (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We present a constructive proof of Alexandrov’s theorem on the existence of a convex polytope with a given metric on the boundary. The polytope is obtained by deforming certain generalized convex polytopes with the given boundary. We study the space of generalized convex polytopes and discover a connection with weighted Delaunay triangulations of polyhedral surfaces. The existence of the deformation follows from the non-degeneracy of the Hessian of the total scalar curvature of generalized convex...
