Term Description Form
1

Fe(x;x0,E)

Penalizes changes in the
distances between
neighboring vertices in the
mesh.

He(x;x0,E)+Ge(x;x0,E)|E|

2 Fϑ(x;x0,Θ) Penalizes the changes in t
he angles of the triangles
in the mesh.
Hϑ(x;x0,Θ)+Gϑ(x;x0,Θ)|Θ|
3

Fp(x;x0,P)

Penalizes any change in
the positions of the
vertices on the perimeter
of the map.

4

Fφ(x;Φ)

Decreases as a retinotopic
vertex u approaches its
anchor-point y in the
retinotopy model.
