SINOPSIS
Deformable objects are ubiquitous in the world surrounding us, on all levels from micro to macro. The need to study such shapes and model their behavior arises in a wide spectrum of applications, ranging from medicine to security. In recent years, non rigid shapes have attracted growing interest, which has led to rapid development of the field, where state of the art results from very different sciences theoretical and numerical geometry, optimization, linear algebra, graph theory, machine learning and computer graphics, to mention several are applied to find solutions.
