It allows us to solve numerous partial differential equations on discre te surface meshes, which is a fundamental building block in many computer graphics applications.\nDiscrete Laplacians are typically limited to stand ard elements like triangles or quadrilaterals, which severely constrains t he tessellation of the mesh. But in recent years, several approaches were able to generalize the Laplace Beltrami and its closely related gradient a nd divergence operators to more general meshes. This allows artists and en gineers to work with a wider range of elements which are sometimes require d and beneficial in their field. This course highlightes the different con structions of these three ubiquitous differential operators on arbitrary p olygons and polyhedra and analyzes their individual advantages and propert ies in common computer graphics applications.\n\nRegistration Category: Fu ll Access\n\n URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=crs_104&sess=sess104 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
