DescriptionWe introduce shape-space eigenanalysis to compute eigenfunctions across continuously-parameterized shape families. These eigenfunctions are obtained by minimizing a variational principle. To handle eigenvalue dominance swaps at points of multiplicity, we incorporate dynamic reordering during optimization. The method is discretization-agnostic and differentiable, enabling applications in sound synthesis, locomotion, and elastodynamic simulation.
