Abstract

Discrete Weierstrass-type representations yield a construction method in discrete differential geometry for certain classes of discrete surfaces. We show that the known discrete Weierstrass-type representations of certain surface classes can be viewed as applications of the \(\varOmega \)-dual transform to lightlike Gauss maps in Laguerre geometry. From this construction, further Weierstrass-type representations arise. As an application of the techniques we develop, we show that all discrete linear Weingarten surfaces of Bryant or Bianchi type locally arise via Weierstrass-type representations from discrete holomorphic maps.
