Generalized Hyperbolic Conical Circle Packings associated with Finite Polygonal Decompositions of Surfaces with Boundary

Abstract

Let S be a compact topological surface with finitely many genus and finitely many holes and let D be a polygonal decomposition of S. In this paper, we consider the generalized hyperbolic conical circle packings associated with D. We first show that the boundary value problem has a unique solution k by prescribing total geodesic curvatures of generalized hyperbolic conical circles centered at interior vertices and geodesic curvatures of generalized hyperbolic conical circles centered at boundary vertices. Then we show that such a solution k can be obtained by taking a limit of the packings inductively modified by Thurston's algorithm via an arbitrarily chosen initial generalized hyperbolic conical circle packing associated with D and with given boundary values. Thirdly, we develop the so-called discrete Schwarz-Pick lemma for the solution packing k on D.
