        abstract = {Principal manifolds defined as lines or surfaces passing through "the middle" of the data distribution serve as useful objects for many practical applications. We propose a new algorithm for fast construction of grid approximations of principal manifolds with given topology. One advantage of the method is a new form of the functional to be minimized, which becomes quadratic at the step of the vertexes positions refinement. This makes the algorithm very effective, especially for parallel implementations. }
