%0 Journal Article %T Combinatorial Yamabe flow on hyperbolic surfaces with boundary %A Ren Guo %J Mathematics %D 2010 %I arXiv %X This paper studies the combinatorial Yamabe flow on hyperbolic surfaces with boundary. It is proved by applying a variational principle that the length of boundary components is uniquely determined by the combinatorial conformal factor. The combinatorial Yamabe flow is a gradient flow of a concave function. The long time behavior of the flow and the geometric meaning is investigated. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1003.3910v1
