✦ Synopsis

The convergence property of the discrete Laplace-Beltrami operator is the foundation of convergence analysis of the numerical simulation process of some geometric partial differential equations which involve the operator. The aim of this paper is to review several already-used discrete Laplace-Beltrami operators over triangulated surface and study numerically, as well as theoretically, their convergent behavior. We show that none of them is convergent in general, but two of them, proposed by Desbrun et al. and Meyer et al., axe convergent in a special case. We point out that this special case is very important in the numerical simulation of geometric partial differential equations.

## Abstract Let __M__ be a compact smooth manifold of dimension __n__ ⩾ 2. We investigate critical metrics of the Laplacian eigenvalue gaps considered as functionals on the space of Riemannian metrics or a conformal class of metrics on __M__. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a metric
