#Subdivision schemes don't only help finite element methods. In a recent paper, we present a #mathart application of creating #weaving patterns from said schemes. Furthermore, we extent these patterns to create a #jigsaw puzzle. Here's a thread.🧵1/13 doi.org/10.1080/175134…
Computer simulations for, e.g., the weather, solve complex problems on a 2D domain. They mostly do so by splitting the domain into a finite set of smaller and simpler elements on which the simulation can be run fast and efficiently. This uses subdivision schemes. 2/13
If the output domain should be triangles, there is the Loop subdivision (see image from previous tweet), the butterfly🦋 scheme, or the √3 scheme. For output made of quadrilaterals, use mid-edge, Doo-Sabin, or Catmull-Clark. Irregular input gives irregular output, though. 3/13
Maheshwar is a beautiful riverside town in Madhya Pradesh. In the 18th century, Ahilyabai Holkar, who ruled the princely state of Indore, promoted the tradition of hand #weaving here. Well over two centuries later, the town remains famous for its Maheshwari #sarees.
Btw 2012 & 2015, more than 200 weavers have migrated to Maheshwar due to the growing opportunities in its #handloom enterprises. This is unusual & contrary to the trend in a sector that is in steep decline.
It is also unusual that young people are among the weavers playing a pivotal role in reviving the #craft. They are an inspiration to the weaving community of this historic town. In this #film, the young #weavers tell their story: ruralindiaonline.org/articles/weave…
