I was experimenting with the mapping equations in:

https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2018/bridges2018-59.pdf

and crashed POV-Ray (3.8) about 6 times.

I'm guessing it has to do with trying to take square roots of something divided
by 0, or 0/0.
I haven't had a chance to scribble out a minimal .pov script to see what
triggers it.



I also was not able to get the mapping to work correctly - I'm guessing that I'm
going to have to apply the _inverse_ of the mapping - but I'm out of practice,
and can't see an easy way to go about that.

Any suggestions?

Really interesting article...

I quickly did these two scenes.
I used the silly method that gives the images as attachments.
I don't know why you have crashes.

Here is some of my code :
-- begin code ---
#declare Sq = function(x) { x*x }

#declare fnDisc2Square = function(u,v) {
 
sgn(u*v)*sqrt(((-Sq(u)-Sq(v)+sqrt((Sq(u)+Sq(v))*(Sq(u)+Sq(v)+4*Sq(u)*Sq(v)*(Sq(u)+Sq(v)-2)))))/(2*(Sq(u)+Sq(v)-2)))
  }

#declare fnSquare2Disc = function(x,y) {
  sqrt((Sq(x)+Sq(y)-(2*Sq(x)*Sq(y)))/((Sq(x)+Sq(y))*(1-Sq(x)*Sq(y))))
  }

#macro Disc2Square(U,V)
  <fnDisc2Square(U,V)/V, fnDisc2Square(U,V)/U, -0.10>
#end

#macro Square2Disc(X,Y)
  <fnSquare2Disc(X,Y)*X, fnSquare2Disc(X,Y)*Y, -0.10>
#end
--- end code ---


Values between -1 and 1 go through zero, but I don't have any crashes.
I don't know if this will help you..

Hey - you got it to work, which is more than I got.
When I next get a chance (it may be a while), I can compare your code to mine.

In the meantime:
Can you try a simple "scene" where you try to take the sqrt of 0, N/0, and 0/0?

Thanks

Sure :

#debug "Begin -------------\n"

#declare a = sqrt(0);
#debug concat("sqrt(0) = ",str(a,0,-1),"\n")

#declare b = sqrt(1/0);
#debug concat("sqrt(1/0) = ",str(b,0,-1),"\n")

#declare c = sqrt(0/0);
#debug concat("sqrt(0/0) = ",str(c,0,-1),"\n")

#debug "End-----------------\n"

#error "nothing to draw"



Output :
Begin -------------
sqrt(0) = 0.000000
sqrt(1/0) = inf
sqrt(0/0) = inf
End-----------------

Parse Warning: Divide by zero.

So here's how I got it to NOT crash, but my mapping results suck.

Remove all of the protective select () and mod () functions, and it will crash.

Here's what you can do to make it work:

(Note that I might change my mind later about what values should
be used when the first expressions in the select statements
evaluates to zero. I may do some more testing in Python to be sure.)


> #version 3.8;

Replace with:

#version 3.7;  // I have not tested with v3.8


> #declare Zoom = 300;

Replace with:

#declare Zoom = 100;  // To see all the results


> #declare Image = pigment {image_map {"HyperbolicSoccerBall.jpg"} translate-0.5}

Replace with:

#declare Image =
    pigment {
        image_map { "HyperbolicSoccerBall.jpg" }
        scale <2, 2, 1>
        translate -<1, 1, 0>
    }
/*
To move the image from the region from x = 0 and y = 0 to
x = +1 and y = +1 into the region from x = -1 and y = -1 to
x = +1 and y = +1, as these are the intervals that the functions
below are made for.
