Discrete surfaces of constant mean curvature. arXiv:0804.2707

Preprint, arXiv:0804.2707 [math.DG] (2008).
Summary: We propose a unified definition for discrete analogues of constant mean curvature surfaces in spaces of constant curvature as a special case of discrete special isothermic nets. Bäcklund transformations and Lawson’s correspondence are discussed. It is shown that the definition generalizes previous definitions and a construction for discrete cmc surfaces of revolution in space forms is provided.
