摘要

This paper constructs hyperbolic polyhedral metrics via circle packings. We introduce the curvature of circles as a parameter to include all three types of constant curvature curves in hyperbolic geometry. This provides a unified approach to producing polyhedral metrics for surfaces of more general topological types. The combinatorial total geodesic curvature serves as an effective tool for establishing the existence and uniqueness of the packing.
