Point-set manifold processing for computational mechanics: thin shells, reduced order modeling, cell motility and molecular conformations

In many applications, one would like to perform calculations on smooth manifolds of dimension d embedded in a high-dimensional space of dimension D. Often, a continuous description of such manifold is not known, and instead it is sampled by a set of scattered points in high dimensions. This poses a...
