Direct approach to mean-curvature flow with topological changes

Petr Pauš, Michal Beneš (2009)

Kybernetika

This contribution deals with the numerical simulation of dislocation dynamics. Dislocations are described by means of the evolution of a family of closed or open smooth curves Γ ( t ) : S 2 , t 0 . The curves are driven by the normal velocity v which is the function of curvature κ and the position. The evolution law reads as: v = - κ + F . The motion law is treated using direct approach numerically solved by two schemes, i. e., backward Euler semi-implicit and semi-discrete method of lines. Numerical stability is improved...

Disconnections of plane continua

Bajguz, W. (2000)

Proceedings of the 19th Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

The paper deals with locally connected continua X in the Euclidean plane. Theorem 1 asserts that there exists a simple closed curve in X that separates two given points x , y of X if there is a subset L of X (a point or an arc) with this property. In Theorem 2 the two points x , y are replaced by two closed and connected disjoint subsets A , B . Again – under some additional preconditions – the existence of a simple closed curve disconnecting A and B is stated.

Discrete Laplace cycles of period four

Hans-Peter Schröcker (2012)

Open Mathematics

We study discrete conjugate nets whose Laplace sequence is of period four. Corresponding points of opposite nets in this cyclic sequence have equal osculating planes in different net directions, that is, they correspond in an asymptotic transformation. We show that this implies that the connecting lines of corresponding points form a discrete W-congruence. We derive some properties of discrete Laplace cycles of period four and describe two explicit methods for their construction.

Discrete thickness

Sebastian Scholtes (2014)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

We investigate the relationship between a discrete version of thickness and its smooth counterpart. These discrete energies are deffned on equilateral polygons with n vertices. It will turn out that the smooth ropelength, which is the scale invariant quotient of length divided by thickness, is the Γ-limit of the discrete ropelength for n → ∞, regarding the topology induced by the Sobolev norm ‖ · ‖ W1,∞(S1,ℝd). This result directly implies the convergence of almost minimizers of the discrete energies...

Discrétisation de zeta-déterminants d’opérateurs de Schrödinger sur le tore

Laurent Chaumard (2006)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Nous donnons ici deux résultats sur le déterminant ζ -régularisé det ζ A d’un opérateur de Schrödinger A = Δ g + V sur une variété compacte . Nous construisons, pour = S 1 × S 1 , une suite ( G n , ρ n , Δ n ) G n est un graphe fini qui se plonge dans via ρ n de telle manière que ρ n ( G n ) soit une triangulation de et où  Δ n est un laplacien discret sur G n tel que pour tout potentiel V sur , la suite de réels det ( Δ n + V ) converge après renormalisation vers det ζ ( Δ g + V ) . Enfin, nous donnons sur toute variété riemannienne compacte ( , g ) de dimension inférieure ou égale à 3 ...
