Convergence of discrete -flow to smooth Ricci flow
Fix a smooth Riemannian surface . Let be a sequence of weighted triangulations of with initial circle packing metrics , and let be the solution obtained by evolving the -flow from . Let be the solution of the smooth Ricci flow starting from . Assume that the initial Gromov–Hausdorff distance between and tends to zero. The convergence conjecture. Then, as , the discrete solutions converge to the smooth Ricci flow for . The claim proposes that the discrete -flow approximates smooth Ricci flow under Gromov–Hausdorff convergence of the initial weighted triangulated surfaces; the supplied source does not indicate whether this has been proved or disproved.
