Abstract

This paper studies the combinatorial Yamabe flow on hyperbolic bordered surfaces. We show that the flow exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to conformal factor which produces a hyperbolic surface whose lengths of boundary components are equal to prescribed positive numbers. This provides an algorithm to such problems.
