In this paper, we consider Chow–Luo’s combinatorial Ricci flow in the inversive distance circle packing setting. Although a solution to the flow may develop singularities in finite time, we can always extend the solution so as it exists for all time and converges exponentially fast to a unique packing with prescribed cone angles. We also give partial results on the range of all attainable cone angles, which generalize the classical Andreev–Thurston theorem. This paper opens a program about the study of the deformations of discrete metrics and discrete curvatures. References
