mesh simplification with reducepatch function

Hy community,

I recently found the MatLab function reducepatch. After some algorithms I tried to implement for mesh simplification, this is a great command. My problem is that I would like to understand the theory behind the function. Does anybody know a paper or a book where I could get some information=

Thanks
