Abstract

This paper proposes a discrete approximation of Laplace-Beltrami operator for quadrilateral meshes which we name as mean Laplace-Beltrami operator (MLBO). Given vertex p and its quadrilateral 1-neighborhood N(p), the MLBO of p is defined as the average of the LBOs defined on all triangulations of N(p) and ultimately expressed as a linear combination of 1-neighborhood vertices. The operator is quite simple and numerically convergent. Its weights are symmetric, and easily modified to positive. Several examples are presented to show its applications.
