Applied mathematics
Applied mathematics is a branch of mathematics that concerns itself with mathematical methods that are typically used in science, engineering, business, and industry. Thus, "applied mathematics" is a mathematical science with specialized knowledge...

Topological manifold
In mathematics, a topological manifold is a topological space which looks locally like Euclidean space in a sense defined below...

 mesh data. The structure stores linked lists for a 3D mesh's faces, edges, vertices, and corners. The structure guarantees the preservation of the manifold
Manifold
In mathematics , a manifold is a topological space that on a small enough scale resembles the Euclidean space of a specific dimension, called the dimension of the manifold....

This data structure is used by the 3D modeling software TopMod
TopMod
TopMod is a free software, open source, portable, cross-platform 3D topological mesh modeling system that allows users to create high genus 2-manifold meshes. Its backend uses a doubly linked face list data structure to store the mesh data....
