## Known issues
### macOS Finder duplicates
macOS Finder sometimes creates duplicate files named `foo 2.hpp` when copying
the repository. These cause confusing compile errors ("redefinition of …").
**Fix (run once from the repo root):**
```bash
find code/include -name "* 2.*" -delete
find code/include -name "*\ 2.*" -delete
```
Files without a ` 2` suffix are always canonical — the duplicates are safe to delete.
### First build is slow
The first CMake configure extracts four tarballs (Eigen 3.4, CGAL 6.1.1,
libigl 2.6, GLFW 3.4) and downloads GTest via `FetchContent`.
Allow **3090 seconds** for the first configure. Subsequent builds are fast
(< 10 s incremental).

# Validation Protocol
Concrete, reproducible steps to verify the mathematical correctness of
conformallab++. Every check below has a deterministic expected outcome.
---
## Prerequisites
```bash
cmake -S code -B build -DWITH_CGAL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build --target conformallab_cgal_tests -j$(nproc)
```
---
## Check 0 — All tests pass
```bash
ctest --test-dir build -R "^cgal\." --output-on-failure
```
**Expected output (last lines):**
```
100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 170
The following tests did not run:
206 - cgal.HomologyGenerators.Genus2_FourGeneratorPaths_BLOCKED (Skipped)
```
If any test fails, stop — the implementation is broken.
---
## Check 1 — GaussBonnet (topological identity, error < 1e-10)
```bash
./build/conformallab_cgal_tests --gtest_filter="GaussBonnet.*" -v
```
**Expected:** all 8 tests `[ PASSED ]`
What is verified: for each test mesh (tetrahedron χ=2, torus χ=0, open mesh χ=1):
```
Σᵥ (2π Θᵥ) = 2π · χ(M) ± 1e-10
```
This is a **pure topology check** — it fails only if vertex/face counts or
property-map assignments are wrong. It does not depend on the Newton solver.
---
## Check 2 — Euclidean gradient consistency (FD vs. analytic, error < 1e-6)
```bash
./build/conformallab_cgal_tests --gtest_filter="EuclideanFunctional.GradientCheck*" -v
```
**Expected:** all `GradientCheck_*` tests `[ PASSED ]`
What is verified: for ε = 1e-5,
```
|G(u)ᵢ (E(u + εeᵢ) E(u εeᵢ)) / (2ε)| < 1e-6
```
This check **proves that the energy and its gradient are mathematically consistent**.
A failing FD check means Newton will converge to the wrong point — it is the most
important correctness check for any new functional.
Also run for Spherical and HyperIdeal:
```bash
./build/conformallab_cgal_tests --gtest_filter="SphericalFunctional.GradientCheck*" -v
./build/conformallab_cgal_tests --gtest_filter="HyperIdealFunctional.GradientCheck*" -v
```
---
## Check 3 — Newton convergence on canonical test meshes
```bash
./build/conformallab_cgal_tests --gtest_filter="NewtonSolver.*" -v
```
**Expected:** all 11 tests `[ PASSED ]`
Each test verifies:
- `res.converged == true`
- `res.grad_inf_norm < 1e-8`
- `res.iterations < 50` (typically 520 for the small test meshes)
---
## Check 4 — Period matrix: SL(2,)-reduction invariants
```bash
./build/conformallab_cgal_tests --gtest_filter="PeriodMatrix.*" -v
```
**Expected:** all 7 tests `[ PASSED ]`
The three mathematical invariants checked for **any** genus-1 output τ:
| Property | Condition | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Upper half-plane | `Im(τ) > 0` | τ encodes a positive-area lattice |
| Outside unit disk | `|τ| ≥ 1 1e-10` | SL(2,) reduction step |
| Vertical strip | `|Re(τ)| ≤ 0.5 + 1e-10` | SL(2,) reduction step |
These hold for **any** well-formed genus-1 mesh — they are topology, not geometry.
---
## Check 5 — Möbius arithmetic (complex analysis correctness)
```bash
./build/conformallab_cgal_tests --gtest_filter="MobiusMap.*" -v
```
**Expected:** all 8 tests `[ PASSED ]`
What is verified:
- `T ∘ T⁻¹ = Id` (inverse is correct)
- `(T₁ ∘ T₂)(z) = T₁(T₂(z))` (composition is associative)
- `from_three(z₁, z₂, z₃)` maps z₁→0, z₂→1, z₃→∞ (unique Möbius transformation)
A bug here would corrupt **all** hyperbolic holonomy computation.
---
## Check 6 — End-to-end pipeline (build + solve + layout)
```bash
./build/conformallab_cgal_tests --gtest_filter="Pipeline.*" -v
```
**Expected:** all 5 tests `[ PASSED ]`
What is verified: starting from a mesh file, the full pipeline
(setup → Gauss-Bonnet → Newton → layout → serialise → reload)
produces a consistent result.
---
## Check 7 — Manual torus τ verification
This check requires adding a small program (or modifying an existing test).
It validates that `torus_4x4.off` produces τ in the fundamental domain:
```cpp
#include "conformal_mesh.hpp"
#include "euclidean_functional.hpp"
#include "newton_solver.hpp"
#include "cut_graph.hpp"
#include "layout.hpp"
#include "period_matrix.hpp"
#include "mesh_io.hpp"
#include <iostream>
int main() {
conformallab::ConformalMesh mesh;
conformallab::load_mesh(mesh, "code/data/off/torus_4x4.off");
auto maps = conformallab::setup_euclidean_maps(mesh);
conformallab::compute_euclidean_lambda0_from_mesh(mesh, maps);
conformallab::enforce_gauss_bonnet(mesh, maps);
auto res = conformallab::newton_euclidean(mesh, std::vector<double>(maps.n_dof, 0.0), maps);
std::cout << "Converged: " << res.converged
<< " iterations: " << res.iterations
<< " |G|∞: " << res.grad_inf_norm << "\n";
auto cg = conformallab::compute_cut_graph(mesh);
conformallab::HolonomyData hol;
conformallab::euclidean_layout(mesh, res.x, maps, &cg, &hol, true);
auto pd = conformallab::compute_period_matrix(hol);
std::cout << "τ = " << pd.tau_reduced.real()
<< " + " << pd.tau_reduced.imag() << "i\n";
std::cout << "|τ| = " << std::abs(pd.tau_reduced) << "\n";
std::cout << "|Re(τ)| = " << std::abs(pd.tau_reduced.real()) << "\n";
}
```
**Expected output (torus_4x4.off, R=2, r=1 torus of revolution):**
```
Converged: 1 iterations: <30 |G|∞: <1e-8
τ = [small] + [positive]i (Re close to 0 by 4-fold symmetry)
|τ| ≥ 1.0 (fundamental domain)
|Re(τ)| ≤ 0.5 (fundamental domain)
```
The exact value of Im(τ) depends on the 3D embedding (R=2, r=1 gives unequal
inner/outer edge lengths). Use `torus_8x8.off` for a finer approximation.
---

# Tutorial: Porting the Inversive-Distance Functional (Phase 9a)
This is a complete, step-by-step example of how to add a new functional
to conformallab++. It ports `InversiveDistanceFunctional.java` from the
Java reference implementation (Luo 2004).
**Prerequisite:** Read [doc/api/extending.md](../api/extending.md) first
for the general pattern. This tutorial fills in every detail for one
specific case.
---
## Mathematical background
Inversive distance (Luo 2004) uses a different edge-length update formula:
```
Given inversive distances I_{ij} ∈ for each edge {i,j}:
cosh(l̃_{ij}) = I_{ij} · cosh((u_i + u_j) / 2)
+ (cosh²((u_i - u_j) / 2) - 1) · ...
```
For the Euclidean version the angle formula is the same law of cosines,
but the log-lengths Λ̃ are computed differently from the u-vector.
**Reference:** Luo, F. (2004). *Combinatorial Yamabe Flow on Surfaces*.
Communications in Contemporary Mathematics, 6(5), 765780.
**Java source:** `de.varylab.discreteconformal.functional.InversiveDistanceFunctional`
---
## Step 1 — Create the header
```bash
cp code/include/euclidean_functional.hpp \
code/include/inversive_distance_functional.hpp
```
Edit the new file:
```cpp
#pragma once
// inversive_distance_functional.hpp
//
// Phase 9a — Inversive-distance discrete conformal functional (Luo 2004).
// Ported from de.varylab.discreteconformal.functional.InversiveDistanceFunctional.
//
// Usage: identical to euclidean_functional.hpp — replace lambda0 with
// inversive_distance0 (the initial inversive distances per edge).
#include "conformal_mesh.hpp"
#include <Eigen/Dense>
#include <cmath>
namespace conformallab {
struct InversiveDistanceMaps {
CGAL::Surface_mesh<CGAL::Simple_cartesian<double>::Point_3>
::Property_map<Edge_index, double> inv_dist0; ///< I_{ij} per edge
CGAL::Surface_mesh<CGAL::Simple_cartesian<double>::Point_3>
::Property_map<Vertex_index, double> theta_v; ///< target corner angles Θ_v
CGAL::Surface_mesh<CGAL::Simple_cartesian<double>::Point_3>
::Property_map<Vertex_index, int> v_idx; ///< DOF index (-1 = pinned)
};
// ... (follow euclidean_functional.hpp exactly, replacing lambda0 with inv_dist0
// and the angle formula with the Luo (2004) version)
```
---
## Step 2 — Implement the energy, gradient, and angle formula
The Euclidean angle formula uses the law of cosines on edge lengths
derived from log-lengths. For inversive distance, the edge lengths
are derived from inversive distances I_{ij} and the u-vector:
```cpp
// Euclidean (reference):
// lambda_ij = lambda0_ij + u_i + u_j
// l_ij = exp(lambda_ij / 2)
// Inversive distance (Luo 2004):
// cosh(l̃_ij) = I_ij * cosh((u_i + u_j) / 2) [simplified form]
// l̃_ij = acosh(I_ij * cosh((u_i + u_j) / 2))
```
Then the **corner angle** at vertex k opposite edge {i,j} in triangle {i,j,k}
is computed by the standard law of cosines from l̃_{ij}, l̃_{jk}, l̃_{ki}.
The **gradient** is the same as Euclidean:
```cpp
G_v = Σ_{faces containing v} alpha_v(face, u) Theta_v
```
---
## Step 3 — Write the gradient-check test
Create `code/tests/cgal/test_inversive_distance.cpp`:
```cpp
#include "inversive_distance_functional.hpp"
#include "mesh_factory.hpp"
#include <gtest/gtest.h>
// Finite-difference gradient check: copy the pattern from
// test_euclidean_functional.cpp :: EuclideanFunctional.GradientCheck_Triangle
TEST(InversiveDistance, GradientCheck_Triangle)
{
// Build a single equilateral triangle (open mesh, no boundary issues).
ConformalMesh mesh = MeshFactory::make_open_mesh(MeshFactory::Kind::triangle);
InversiveDistanceMaps maps = setup_inversive_distance_maps(mesh);
compute_inversive_distance0_from_mesh(mesh, maps); // I_ij from 3D edge lengths
const int n = /* count free DOFs */;
std::vector<double> x0(n, 0.0);
constexpr double eps = 1e-5;
auto G = inversive_distance_gradient(mesh, x0, maps);
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
auto xp = x0; xp[i] += eps;
auto xm = x0; xm[i] -= eps;
double Ep = inversive_distance_energy(mesh, xp, maps);
double Em = inversive_distance_energy(mesh, xm, maps);
double fd = (Ep - Em) / (2.0 * eps);
EXPECT_NEAR(G[i], fd, 1e-6) << "gradient mismatch at DOF " << i;
}
}
```
Run with:
```bash
./build/conformallab_cgal_tests --gtest_filter="InversiveDistance.*"
```
---
## Step 4 — Register in CMakeLists
Add to `code/tests/cgal/CMakeLists.txt` inside the `add_executable` block:
```cmake
# ── Phase 9a: Inversive-distance functional ────────────────────────────────
test_inversive_distance.cpp
```
---
## Step 5 — Add a Newton wrapper
In `code/include/newton_solver.hpp` add:
```cpp
/// Solve the inversive-distance conformal problem.
/// \see newton_euclidean() — identical structure.
inline NewtonResult newton_inversive_distance(
ConformalMesh& mesh,
std::vector<double> x0,
const InversiveDistanceMaps& m,
double tol = 1e-8,
int max_iter = 200)
{
// Copy newton_euclidean() exactly, replacing euclidean_* with
// inversive_distance_*. The Hessian is PSD (Luo 2004, Thm. 1),
// so SimplicialLDLT with SparseQR fallback applies directly.
}
```
---
## Step 6 — Verify against Java output
The Java library outputs text results for a triangulated torus. To compare:
1. Run Java ConformalLab on the same OFF mesh with Inversive-Distance mode.
2. Record the final gradient norm and angle sums.
3. Run the C++ equivalent and check:
```cpp
EXPECT_LT(res.grad_inf_norm, 1e-8);
EXPECT_LT(res.iterations, 50); // inversive-distance converges faster than hyper-ideal
```
