This bibliography includes references to original papers, articles, and books on radiosity and related global illumination algorithms. It also includes a limited number of references to such eclectic topics as constrained Delaunay triangulation, winged-edge data structures, finite element mathematics, and more. These references have been selected for their usefulness in understanding and implementing radiosity-based rendering systems.
