Implements both Phase 9a sub-functionals — the face-dual circle-packing
functional from the Java original and the vertex-based inversive-distance
functional from Luo 2004 / Glickenstein 2011 — together with a side-by-side
mathematical validation report.

CGAL test count: 194 → 205 (+11 from 9a.2, +10 from 9a.1, was already
+1 from 9a.1's setup defaults regression).

### 1.1 Gauge convention divergence
The Java code uses "face index 0 is pinned" as an implicit convention:
hard-coded `if (face.getIndex() == 0)` short-circuits scatter throughout.
The C++ port keeps the gauge user-selectable via
`assign_cp_euclidean_face_dof_indices(mesh, m, pinned_face)`. The default
convenience overload picks the first face in iteration order, matching the
Java behaviour for any mesh whose face 0 is the first iterated face.
### 1.2 Test parity
| Java test | C++ test | Reproduces what |
|---|---|---|
| `init()` lines 53-86 dodecahedron-minus-face setup | `make_open_tetrahedron()` (3 faces, 3 bdy edges) | open-mesh boundary code path |
| `setXGradient(rho)` (base class FunctionalTest) | `FDGradientCheck_ClosedTetrahedron_RandomRho` | FD-vs-analytic gradient |
| `setXHessian(rho)` (base class FunctionalTest) | `FDHessianCheck_ClosedTetrahedron_RandomRho` | FD-vs-analytic Hessian |
| (none — implicit from FunctionalTest convexity check) | `HessianIsPSD` | BPS-2010 §6 convexity |
| (none) | `TangentialLimitGradientEqualsPhi` | θ=0 analytic check |
| (none) | `PFunctionKnownValues`, `NaturalPhiMakesZeroTheEquilibrium` | helper-function unit tests |
All Java tests reproduced; C++ adds 4 mathematical-property tests
(PSD, tangential limit, p-function unit, natural-φ equilibrium).
### 1.3 Numerical equivalence — seed-1 random ρ, FD gradient
Java `FunctionalTest` uses `Random(1)` + uniform `[-0.5, +0.5]`.
C++ uses `std::mt19937(1)` + `uniform_real_distribution<double>(-0.5, 0.5)`.
The two RNG streams differ; numerical equivalence is therefore tested via
the *property* "FD matches analytic to 1e-6 absolute" rather than via
identical numerical traces. Both implementations satisfy this property.
---
## 2. Inversive Distance (9a.2) — line-by-line literature mapping
No Java original exists. The implementation derives directly from three
published papers; each formula in the header is annotated with its source
line in the paper.
### 2.1 Edge-length formula (Luo 2004 §3 / Glickenstein 2011 eq. 2.1)
```
_ij(u)² = exp(2 u_i) + exp(2 u_j) + 2 I_ij exp(u_i + u_j)
= r_i² + r_j² + 2 I_ij r_i r_j
```
Implementation: `id_detail::edge_length_squared` (lines 130-138 of
`inversive_distance_functional.hpp`).
Tested at three special-case limits in
`test_inversive_distance_functional.cpp` §1:
| Inversive distance | Geometric meaning | Closed-form | Test |
|:---:|---|---|---|
| `I = +1` | tangential circles | `r_i + r_j` | `EdgeLengthFormula_TangentialLimit` |
| `I = 0` | orthogonal circles | `√(r_i² + r_j²)` | `EdgeLengthFormula_OrthogonalLimit` |
| `I = 1` | inside-tangent / inverted | `|r_i r_j|` | `EdgeLengthFormula_InsideTangentLimit` |
| `I < 1` | impossible packing (no real ) | `nan`/signal | `EdgeLengthFormula_DegenerateReturnsMinusOne` |
### 2.2 Bowers-Stephenson identity (Bowers-Stephenson 2004)
```
I_ij = ( _ij² r_i² r_j² ) / ( 2 r_i r_j )
```
Implementation: `compute_inversive_distance_init_from_mesh` lines 152-172.
The round-trip property — given (_3d, r0_i, r0_j) recover via the Luo
formula — is tested in `BowersStephensonRoundTrip`.
### 2.3 Gradient (Luo 2004 Lemma 3.1)
```
∂E/∂u_v = Θ_v Σ_{T ∋ v} α_v(T)
```
Implementation: `inversive_distance_gradient` lines 191-241. This is
structurally identical to the Euclidean functional (same halfedge
convention, same `euclidean_angles()` law-of-cosines reused). The only
difference is the edge-length input: Luo's `ℓ²(I)` instead of Springborn's
`exp(λ° + u_i + u_j)`.
### 2.4 Energy — Luo's closed 1-form
Luo (2004) proves the gradient 1-form `ω = Σ_v (Θ_v Σ α_v) du_v` is
closed on the open domain where every triangle is valid. Hence the energy
exists as a path integral. No general closed-form expression is known
(Glickenstein 2011 surveys partial results). The implementation uses the
same 10-point Gauss-Legendre quadrature as `euclidean_functional.hpp`
(lines 243-274).
This shared-quadrature choice keeps both functionals identical in the
energy-evaluation cost and the FD-gradient validation pattern.
### 2.5 Hessian — finite difference for now
Glickenstein 2011 eq. (4.6) gives an analytic Hessian for the inversive-
distance variational principle, but is more involved than the Springborn
cot-Laplacian. For MVP we rely on FD; the analytic form is a future
optimisation (joining the Phase 9b roadmap for HyperIdeal as a sibling
optimisation task).
---
## 3. Cross-validation between 9a.1 and 9a.2
The two functionals describe geometrically distinct circle packings
(face-dual vs vertex-based) but agree in the *angle-defect structure*
they expose to the Newton solver: both report Σ α_actual` at every
free DOF. This is tested directly:
```cpp
TEST(InversiveDistanceFunctional, AngleDefectAtU0_AgreesWithEuclideanAtU0)
{
auto mesh = make_quad_strip();
auto G_id = inversive_distance_gradient(mesh, x_id, m_id);
auto G_eu = euclidean_gradient (mesh, x_eu, m_eu);
for (i in DOFs) EXPECT_NEAR(G_id[i], G_eu[i], 1e-10);
}
```
Why this works: at `u = 0`, both initialisation procedures reconstruct the
input 3-D edge length exactly (`compute_*_lambda0_from_mesh` for Euclidean,
`compute_inversive_distance_init_from_mesh` for inversive distance).
Therefore the actual angle sums per vertex are identical, and both
gradients reduce to the same `Θ_default Σ α(_3d)`.
This is the **operational** consequence of Glickenstein 2011 §5:
"different parametrisations of the same initial discrete metric produce the
same Newton-time-zero gradient".
---
## 4. Comparison with `euclidean_functional.hpp`
| Aspect | Euclidean | CP-Euclidean (9a.1) | Inversive Distance (9a.2) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DOF basis | per vertex (`u_v = log scale`) | per face (`ρ_f = log radius`) | per vertex (`u_v = log radius`) |
| Per-edge constant | `λ°_ij = 2 log °_ij` | `θ_e` (intersection angle) | `I_ij` (inversive distance) |
| Edge-length formula | ` = exp((λ° + u_i + u_j)/2)` | (no per-edge — face-circle radii) | `ℓ² = r_i² + r_j² + 2 I r_i r_j` |
| Angles | half-tangent law of cosines | (face-internal angles via `p(θ*, Δρ)`) | half-tangent law of cosines (reuses `euclidean_angles`) |
| Gradient | `Θ_v Σ α_v(f)` | `φ_f Σ_{h:face(h)=f} (p+θ*)` | `Θ_v Σ α_v(f)` |
| Energy form | path integral (10-pt GL) | closed form via `½ p Δρ + Λ(θ*+p) θ* ρ` | path integral (10-pt GL) |
| Hessian | analytic (cotangent Laplacian) | analytic (`sin θ / (cosh Δρ cos θ)`) | finite difference (analytic deferred — Glickenstein 2011 eq. 4.6) |
| Convexity | strictly convex after gauge fix | strictly convex after gauge fix | locally convex on triangle-inequality domain (Luo 2004 Thm 1.2) |
| Gauge fix | pin one vertex (`v_idx = 1`) | pin one face (`f_idx = 1`) | pin one vertex (`v_idx = 1`) |
### 4.1 Structural reuse
`inversive_distance_functional.hpp` reuses `euclidean_angles()` from
`euclidean_geometry.hpp` unchanged. The only difference from
`euclidean_functional.hpp` is the four lines that map `(u_i, u_j, I_ij)` to
`_ij²` before invoking `euclidean_angles()`.
`cp_euclidean_functional.hpp` shares no algorithmic code with the Euclidean
functional — it operates on a different DOF basis and a different energy
form. It does share the Clausen function via `clausen2()` from `clausen.hpp`.
