Riemann Surfaces

General domains of analytic functions of one complex variable. Surfaces are locally described by holomorphic functions.

For example, a model of a concrete Riemann surface may be given as a triangular or rectangular mesh of a branched covering of a planar domain.

Technical Note

As a guide, meshes should have no holes, no degenerate triangles and elements, no duplicate vertices. Surfaces should have meshes with an adjacency relation.
