Abstract
In this paper we present a systematic method for exploring the different possible parameterizations of a planar domain by collections of quadrilateral patches. Given a domain, which is represented by a certain number of boundary curves, our aim is to find the optimal multi-patch parameterization with respect to an objective function that captures the parameterization quality. The optimization considers both the location of the control points and the layout of the multi-patch structure. The latter information is captured by pre-computed catalogs of all available multi-patch topologies. Several numerical examples demonstrate the performance of the method.
