Minimal surface solution in Python

Question

I have a set of 3D points defining a 3D contour. What I want to do is to obtain the minimal surface representation corresponding to this contour (see Minimal Surfaces in Wikiped

Answer 1

Obviously Matlab and SciPy understand TPS in different ways. The Matlab implementation looks correct. SciPy treats TPS the same way as others RBFs, so you could implement it correctly in Python yourself - it would be enough to form a matrix of the related linear equation system and solve it to receive TPS' coefficients.
