Discrete linear Weingarten surfaces in space forms are characterized as special discrete ΩΩ-nets, a discrete analogue of Demoulin's ΩΩ-surfaces. It is shown that the Lie-geometric deformation of ΩΩ-nets descends to a Lawson transformation for discrete linear Weingarten surfaces, which coincides with the well-known L…

In the search for appropriate discretizations of surface theory it is crucial to preserve such fundamental properties of surfaces as their invariance with respect to transformation groups. We discuss discretizations based on Möbius invariant building blocks such as circles and spheres. Concrete problems considered in t…

The optimization of expensive to evaluate, black-box, mixed-variable functions, i.e. functions that have continuous and discrete inputs, is a difficult and yet pervasive problem in science and engineering.

In this review we establish various connections between complex networks and symmetry. While special types of symmetries (e.g., automorphisms) are studied in detail within discrete mathematics for particular classes of deterministic graphs, the analysis of more general symmetries in real complex networks is far less de…
