The Gradient and the Hessian of the Distance between Point and Triangle in 3D

Computation of the distance between point and triangle in 3D is a common task in numerical analysis. The input values of the algorithm are coordinates of three points of the triangle and one point from which the distance is determined. An existing algorithm is extended to compute the gradient and th...
