Two examples of fattening for the curvature flow with a driving force

Giovanni Bellettini, Maurizio Paolini (1994)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Similarity:

We provide two examples of a regular curve evolving by curvature with a forcing term, which degenerates in a set having an interior part after a finite time.

Gaussian curvature based tangential redistribution of points on evolving surfaces

Medľa, Matej, Mikula, Karol

Similarity:

There exist two main methods for computing a surface evolution, level-set method and Lagrangian method. Redistribution of points is a crucial element in a Lagrangian approach. In this paper we present a point redistribution that compress quads in the areas with a high Gaussian curvature. Numerical method is presented for a mean curvature flow of a surface approximated by quads.

Local Changes in Lipid Composition to Match Membrane Curvature

Rolf J. Ryham (2016)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

Similarity:

A continuum mechanical model based on the Helfrich Hamiltonian is devised to investigate the coupling between lipid composition and membrane curvature. Each monolayer in the bilayer is modeled as a freely deformable surface with a director field for lipid orientation. A scalar field for the mole fraction of two lipid types accounts for local changes in composition. It allows lipids to access monolayer regions favorable to their intrinsic curvature at the expense of increasing entropic...

Motion of spirals by crystalline curvature

Hitoshi Imai, Naoyuki Ishimura, TaKeo Ushijima (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

Modern physics theories claim that the dynamics of interfaces between the two-phase is described by the evolution equations involving the curvature and various kinematic energies. We consider the motion of spiral-shaped polygonal curves by its crystalline curvature, which deserves a mathematical model of real crystals. Exploiting the comparison principle, we show the local existence and uniqueness of the solution.

Structurally stable configurations of lines of mean curvature and umbilic points on surfaces immersed in R.

Ronaldo García, Jorge Sotomayor (2001)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Similarity:

In this paper we study the pairs of orthogonal foliations on oriented surfaces immersed in R whose singularities and leaves are, respectively, the umbilic points and the lines of normal mean curvature of the immersion. Along these lines the immersions bend in R according to their normal mean curvature. By analogy with the closely related Principal Curvature Configurations studied in [S-G], [GS2], whose lines produce the extremal for the immersion, the pair of foliations by lines of...

Curvature Concentrations on the HIV-1 Capsid

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

Similarity:

It is known that the retrovirus capsids possess a fullerene-like structure. These caged polyhedral arrangements are built entirely from hexagons and exactly 12 pentagons according to the Euler theorem. Viral capsids are composed of capsid proteins, which create the hexagon and pentagon shapes by groups of six (hexamer) and five (pentamer) proteins. Different distributions of these 12 pentamers result in icosahedral, tubular, or conical shaped capsids. These pentamer clusters introduce...
