Discrete linear Weingarten surfaces

Discrete linear Weingarten surfaces in space forms are characterized as special discrete Omega-nets, a discrete analogue of Demoulin's Omega-surfaces. It is shown that the Lie-geometric deformation of Omega-nets descends to a Lawson transformation for discrete linear Weingarten surfaces, which coincides with the well-known Lawson correspondence in the constant mean curvature case.
