Abstract
The main concept of barycentric coordinates is intimately linked to the duality between primal and dual complexes. This chapter presents a general framework in ℝd to define a family of compatible dual complexes for a given triangulation. We derive a combinatorial characterization theorem for triangulations that admit a compatible, possibly non-orthogonal dual complex. We show how the mesh optimization methods in geometric modeling can benefit from the parameterization of the space of generalized triangulations.
