Shape equations for axisymmetric vesicles: A clarification.
We derive the shape equations for axisymmetric vesicles and show that they are identical to the general shape equation [Ou-Yang Zhong-Can and W. Helfrich, Phys. Rev. A 39, 5280 (1989)] specialized to axisymmetry. We consider three difFerent topologies (an axisymmetric membrane segment suspended between two circular rings and closed vesicles of spherical and toroidal topology). We point out that...
متن کاملParametrization invariance and shape equations of elastic axisymmetric vesicles.
The issue of different parameterizations of the axisymmetric vesicle shape addressed by Hu Jian-Guo and Ou-Yang Zhong-Can [ Phys.Rev. E 47 (1993) 461 ] is reassesed, especially as it transpires through the corresponding Euler Lagrange equations of the associated elastic energy functional. It is argued that for regular, smooth contours of vesicles with spherical topology, different parameterizat...
متن کاملConditions for the Formation of Axisymmetric Biconcave Vesicles
The extraordinary biconcave shape of a red blood cell has attracted much interest for many years. In the last two decades, people generally accepted the shape of biological membranes such as blood cells is closely related to the formation of lipid bilayer vesicle in aqueous medium. Based on the elasticity of lipid bilayers proposed by Helfrich [H1], the shape Σ, regarded as an embedded surface ...
متن کاملAxisymmetric multicomponent vesicles: A comparison of hydrodynamic and geometric models.
Using a mathematical model, we investigate the role of hydrodynamic forces on three-dimensional axisymmetric multicomponent vesicles. The equations are derived using an energy variation approach that accounts for different surface phases, the excess energy associated with surface domain boundaries, bending energy and inextensibility. The equations are high-order (fourth order) nonlinear and non...
متن کاملA variational principle for stationary, axisymmetric solutions of Einstein’s equations
Stationary, axisymmetric, vacuum, solutions of Einstein’s equations are obtained as critical points of the total mass among all axisymmetric and (t, φ) symmetric initial data with fixed angular momentum. In this variational principle, the mass is written as a positive definite integral over a spacelike hypersurface. It is also proved that if an absolute minimum exists then it is equal to the ab...
