Abstract
Mesh generation is a great example of inter-disciplinary research. Its development is built upon advances in computational and combinatorial geometry, data structures, numerical analysis, and scientific applications. Its success is justified not only by mathematical proofs about the quality and the numerical relevancy of geometry-based meshing algorithms, but also by the performance of meshing software in real applications. It embraces both provably good algorithms and practical heuristics. This paper presents a brief overview of algorithms, theorems, and software in mesh generation.Keywords
