Retrieving topological information from the phase-field description of geometric evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
Phase field and diffuse interface are popular methods for the modeling and simulations of evolving interfaces. They do not track the interface explicitly, and are insensitive to topological events. In some areas of applications, detecting and controlling topological change may be important. In this talk, we discuss some recent works with current and former colleagues at Penn State (C. Liu, R. Ryham, and X. Wang) on the development of effective formula for retrieving topological information within the phase field framework.

Retrieving Topological Information for Phase Field Models
The phase field approach has become a popular tool in modeling interface motion, microstructure evolution, and more recently the shape transformation of vesicle membranes under elastic bending energy. While it is advantageous to employ phase field models in numerical simulations to automatically handle topological changes to the microstructures or the configurations of vesicle membranes, detect...
متن کاملComparison of Bibliographic Databases in Retrieving Information on Telemedicine
Background & Aims: Some of the main questions which can be of importance for those researchers who intend to perform a systematic review in a field of science are: ‘What databases should I use for my review?’; ‘Do all these databases have the same value?’; and ‘Which sourcesretrieved the highest of relevant references?’. The main aim of this work was the identification of the best database for ...
متن کاملA representation for some groups, a geometric approach
In the present paper, we are going to use geometric and topological concepts, entities and properties of the integral curves of linear vector fields, and the theory of differential equations, to establish a representation for some groups on $R^{n} (ngeq 1)$. Among other things, we investigate the surjectivity and faithfulness of the representation. At the end, we give some app...
متن کاملEffect of Phase-Encoding Reduction on Geometric Distortion and BOLD Signal Changes in fMRI
Introduction Echo-planar imaging (EPI) is a group of fast data acquisition methods commonly used in fMRI studies. It acquires multiple image lines in k-space after a single excitation, which leads to a very short scan time. A well-known problem with EPI is that it is more sensitive to distortions due to the used encoding scheme. Source of distortion is inhomogeneity in the static B0 field that ...
متن کاملTopological Phase Field Gradients on Pseudospheres as a Model for Nonlinear Electromagnetic Coupling
This paper tries to answer the question: ”what happens, if a spatially extended geometric phase pattern (the scattered field) couples back to the scattering field?” To approach an adequate answer it requires to generalize from linear to nonlinear topological phase fields, where the coordinate vector field is parallel transported along the soliton field on pseudospheres. There are also some smal...
