First Variation of the General Curvature-dependent Surface Energy
We consider general surface energies, which are weighted integrals over a closed surface with a weight function depending on the position, the unit normal and the total curvature of the surface. Energies of this form have applications in many areas, such as materials science, biology and image processing. Often one is interested in finding a surface that minimizes such an energy, which entails ...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Anisotropic Surface Diffusion with Curvature-dependent Energy
The aim of this paper is the numerical simulation of surface diffusion processes in the presence of a strong anisotropy and curvature dependence in the surface energy. We derive semi-implicit finite element discretizations based on a splitting into three second-order equations. The discretization we use yields indefinite linear systems for the nodal values of the height function, the curvature ...
متن کاملOn Curvature-Dependent Surface Evolution
Computer vision applications require representations for surfaces that are intrinsic and re ect the hierarchical nature of their geometric structure. Curvature-dependent ows have been successfully used for shape representation in two dimensions, principally due to a theorem on curve shortening ow stating that embedded curves evolving proportional to their curvature do not self-intersect and smo...
متن کاملMinimizers of Curvature-Based Surface Energy
Curvature based surface optimization is an important constituent of various geometric modeling and scientific computing tasks. Smooth surfaces are often modelled in a variational setting, where the objective function is used to express the beauty of the shape. Optimization is also used for fitting a smooth, virtual surface to samples of a real, scanned object. Energy minimizing surfaces are als...

In this paper energy bands and Berry curvature of graphene was studied. Desired Hamiltonian regarding the next-nearest neighbors obtained by tight binding model. By using the second quantization approach, the transformation matrix is calculated and the Hamiltonian of system is diagonalized. With this Hamiltonian, the band structure and wave function can be calculated. By using calculated wave f...
