While conventional triangulation methods depend only on the distribution of the data points in R2, this paper suggests that the triangulation should depend on the data values as well. Several data dependent criteria for defining the triangulation are discussed and efficient algorithms for computing these triangulations are presented. It is shown for a variety of test cases that data dependent triangulations can improve significantly the quality of approximation and that long and thin triangles, which are traditionally avoided, are sometimes very suitable. }, } @PHDTHESIS{Rippa90, AUTHOR={Shmuel Rippa}, TITLE={Piecewise Linear Interpolation and Approximation Schemes Over Data Dependent Triangulations}, SCHOOL={School of Mathematical Sciences, Tel Aviv U.}, YEAR={1990}, keywords={height field, terrain}, } @ARTICLE{Rippa92subset, AUTHOR={Shmuel Rippa}, TITLE={Adaptive Approximation by Piecewise Linear Polynomials on Triangulations of Subsets of Scattered Data}, JOURNAL={SIAM J.

A typical numerical scheme starts with some initial triangulation and adds more points as necessary until the resulting piecewise linear surface satisfies the error bound. In the paper two ingredients of such schemes are discussed. The first problem is that of constructing a suitable triangulation of a subset of points. The use of data- dependent triangulations that depend on the given function values at the data points is discussed, and some data- dependent criteria for optimizing a triangulation are presented and compared to the Delaunay criterion leading to the well-known Delaunay triangulation. The second problem is how to select a piecewise linear surface approximating the given data. The paper uses the least-square approximation to the data from the space of piecewise linear polynomials defined over a triangulation of a subset of V. It is proved that the matrix of the normal equations is always nonsingular and a bound for its condition number is derived. } } @ARTICLE{Rippa92longthin, AUTHOR={Shmuel Rippa}, TITLE={Long and Thin Triangles Can Be Good for Linear Interpolation}, JOURNAL={SIAM J.

The coordinate transformations are derived from a result in differential geometry characterizing a 'flat' space. The optimality results are demonstrated for some numerical examples. Adaptive meshes produced by PLTMG (R.E. Bank, PLTMG: A Software Package for Solving Elliptic Partial Differential Equations, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Philadelphia, PA, 1990) are included for comparison. The paper concludes that coordinate transformation is a promising strategy for investigation into more complex optimal meshing problems in finite element analysis. }, KEYWORDS={linear interpolation, Delaunay triangulation, differential geometry, Riemann-Christoffel tensor, curvature, finite element analysis, structured mesh}, } @ARTICLE{DAzevedo91gradient, AUTHOR={Eduardo F.
