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...

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...

Non-degenerate quadric surfaces of Weingarten type

Dae Won Yoon, Yılmaz Tunçer, Murat Kemal Karacan (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study quadric surfaces in Euclidean 3-space with non-degenerate second fundamental form, and classify them in terms of the Gaussian curvature, the mean curvature, the second Gaussian curvature and the second mean curvature.
