A survey on Inverse mean curvature flow in ROSSes

Giuseppe Pipoli (2017)

Complex Manifolds

Similarity:

In this survey we discuss the evolution by inverse mean curvature flow of star-shaped mean convex hypersurfaces in non-compact rank one symmetric spaces. We show similarities and differences between the case considered, with particular attention to how the geometry of the ambient manifolds influences the behaviour of the evolution. Moreover we try, when possible, to give an unified approach to the results present in literature.

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.

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.

Curvature Concentrations on the HIV-1 Capsid

Jiangguo Liu, Farrah Sadre-Marandi, Simon Tavener, Chaoping Chen (2015)

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...

Convergence of a non-local eikonal equation to anisotropic mean curvature motion. Application to dislocations dynamics

Francesca Da Lio, N. Forcadel, Régis Monneau (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove the convergence at a large scale of a non-local first order equation to an anisotropic mean curvature motion. The equation is an eikonal-type equation with a velocity depending in a non-local way on the solution itself, which arises in the theory of dislocation dynamics. We show that if an anisotropic mean curvature motion is approximated by equations of this type then it is always of variational type, whereas the converse is true only in dimension two.

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...
