Laplacian growth implementation
Hi,
does anyone know of a library for Processing/Java that implements the equations of laplacian growth as described in this paper: http://gamma.cs.unc.edu/FRAC/laplacian_large.pdf ? I want to use them to generate a coral structure but I'm not a math expert and would appreciate a way to easily implement it into my code, especially when I can use it in conjunction with vector paths and recursive functions.
I'd be thankful for any kinds of suggestions!

I am also keen to know how to implement such complex mathematical equation. Once I have asked the same question but no one has replied me but still I am looking for my answer. I'll let you know if I find anything.
This looks like an interesting project. I sort of understand the math, but my programming skills might lack. I'm working on something else now, I might look into it after the weekend.
Thanks for your answers! Yeah, I've actually read the whole paper and kind of can imagine how it works, but the formulas are too cryptic for me and I don't have any idea how to implement them in code. This guy has actually sort of realized what I want to archieve, but in action script in flash: http://pixelero.wordpress.com/2011/11/18/laplacian-growth-vector-graphics/ Maybe I can get something out of the source code, but I hoped somebody knows a library for that.
I found something in the toxiclibs docs that may be interesting, think I should take a look at it: http://toxiclibs.org/docs/core/toxi/geom/mesh/LaplacianSmooth.html
