Abstract

In this work we focus on approximations of continuous harmonic functions by discrete harmonic functions based on the discrete Laplacian in a triangulation of a point set. We show how the choice of edge weights based on generalized barycentric coordinates influences the approximation quality of discrete harmonic functions. Furthermore, we consider a varying point set to demonstrate that generalized barycentric coordinates based on natural neighbors admit discrete harmonic functions that continuously depend on the point set.
