Robust Boundary Layer Mesh Generation

In this paper, we introduce a 3D local operator that automatically combines typical simpler operators as removal of vertices, collapse of edges or swap of faces and edges. This operator is inherited from incremental methods where the mesh \(\mathcal{H}_k\) is modified iteratively through sequences of insertion of a point P:
