Abstract

This paper considers Chow-Luo's combinatorial Ricci flows in the setting of ideal circle patterns. We establish several equivalent conditions regarding long time behaviors of these flows. As consequences, Rivin's and Bobenko-Springborn's theorems are obtained. Moreover, this approach suggests a computational method to find the desired ideal circle patterns (and ideal hyperbolic polyhedra).
