This work proposes a novel metric based algorithm for quadrilateral mesh generating. Each quad-mesh induces a Riemannian metric satisfying special conditions: the metric is a flat metric with cone singularities conformal to the original metric, the total curvature satisfies the Gauss–Bonnet condition, the holonomy group is a subgroup of the rotation group $\{e^{ik\pi/2}\}$, there is cross field obtained by parallel translation which is aligned with the boundaries, and its streamlines are finite geodesics. Inversely, such kind of metric induces a quad-mesh. Based on discrete Ricci flow and conformal structure deformation, one can obtain a metric satisfying all the conditions and obtain the desired quad-mesh. This method is rigorous, simple and automatic. Our experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of the algorithm.

The systematic investigation of contour integrals satisfying the system of partial differential equations associated with Appell's hypergeometric function$F$_{1}leads to new solutions of that system. Fundamental sets of solutions are given for the vicinity of all singular points of the system of partial differential equations. The transformation theory of the solutions reveals connections between the system under consideration and other hypergeometric systems of partial differential equations. Presently it is discovered that any hypergeometric system of partial differential equations of the second order (with two independent variables) which has only three linearly independent solutions can be transformed into the system of$F$_{1}or into a particular or limiting case of this system. There are also other hypergeometric systems (with four linearly independent solutions) the integration of which can be reduced to the integration of the system of$F$_{1}.
