On moderately close inclusions for the Laplace equation
The presence of small inclusions modifies the solution of the Laplace equation posed in a reference domain Ω0. This question has been deeply studied for a single inclusion or well separated inclusions. We investigate in this note the case where the distance between the holes tends to zero but remains large with respect to their characteristic size. We first consider two perfectly insulated incl...
متن کاملInteractions between moderately close circular inclusions: The Dirichlet-Laplace equation in the plane
The presence of small inclusions or of a surface defect modifies the solution of the Laplace equation posed in a reference domain Ω0. If the characteristic size of the perturbation is small, then one can expect that the solution of the problem posed on the perturbed geometry is close to the solution of the reference shape. Asymptotic expansion with respect to that small parameter –the character...
متن کاملMembrane-Induced Interactions between Inclusions
The properties of membranes containing inclusions, such as proteins or colloidal particles, are calculated as a function of the bilayer interfacial energy and bending coefficients. We find that the inclusion-imposed perturbation leads to damped oscillations in the membrane profile and, hence, to nonmonotonic shortranged, membrane-induced interactions between inclusions. The preferred spacing be...
متن کاملThe Laplace Equation
Definition 1. Among the most important and ubiquitous of all partial differential equations is Laplace’s Equation: ∆u = 0, where the Laplacian operator ∆ acts on the function u : U → R (U is open in R) by taking the sum of the unmixed partial derivatives. For example: n = 1: ∆u = ∂ 2u ∂x2 = u = 0 In this simple case, the solution u = ax + b is found by integrating twice. n = 2: ∆u = ∂ 2u ∂x1 + ...
متن کاملInteractions between Membrane Inclusions on Fluctuating Membranes
We model membrane proteins as anisotropic objects characterized by symmetric-traceless tensors and determine the coupling between these orderparameters and membrane curvature. We consider the interactions 1) between transmembrane proteins that respect up-down (reflection) symmetry of bilayer membranes and that have circular or non-circular cross-sectional areas in the tangent-plane of membranes...
