Simplicial Ricci flow: an example of a neck pinch singularity in 3D

We examine a Type-1 neck pinch singularity in simplicial Ricci flow (SRF) for an axisymmetric piecewise flat 3-dimensional geometry with topology S³. SRF was recently introduced as an unstructured mesh formulation of Hamilton’s Ricci flow (RF). It describes the RF of a piecewise-flat simplicial geom...
