Singularities of Discrete Indefinite Affine Minimal Surfaces

A smooth affine minimal surface with indefinite metric can be obtained from a pair of smooth non-intersecting spatial curves by Lelieuvre's formulas. These surfaces may present singularities, which are generically cuspidal edges and swallowtails. By discretizing the initial curves, one can obtain by the discrete Lelieuvre's formulas a discrete affine minimal surface with indefinite metric. The aim of this paper is to define the singular edges and vertices of the corresponding discrete asymptotic net in such a way that the most relevant properties of the singular set of the smooth version remain valid.
