Energy Minimizers for Curvature-Based Surface Functionals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compare curvature-based surface functionals by comparing the aesthetic properties of their minimizers. We introduce an enhancement to the original inline curvature variation functional. This new functional also considers the mixed cross terms of the normal curvature derivative and is a more complete formulation of a curvature variation functional. To give designers an intuitive feel for the preferred shapes attained by these different functionals, we present a catalog of the minimum energy shapes for various symmetrical, unconstrained input surfaces of different genera.

Evolution by Non-Convex Functionals
We establish a semi-group solution concept for morphological differential equations, such as the mean curvature flow equation. The proposed method consists in generating flows from generalized minimizers of nonconvex energy functionals. We use relaxation and convexification to define generalized minimizers. The main part of this work consists in verification of the solution concept by comparing...
متن کاملRegularity of minimizers of a Ginzburg-Landau type energy with metric cone target space
In this paper, we consider an energy of the type Dirichlet energy plus potential term, for a map with values into a metric cone. We investigate the regularity of minimizers of such functionals, and prove that they are always locally Hölder continuous. We establish that Lipschitz continuity is achieved in some cases where the target space has non-positive curvature, and show examples for which t...
متن کاملInstability results for an elliptic equation on compact Riemannian manifolds with non-negative Ricci curvature
We prove nonexistence of nonconstant local minimizers for a class of functionals, which typically appears in the scalar two-phase field model, over a smoothN−dimensional Riemannian manifold without boundary with non-negative Ricci curvature. Conversely for a class of surfaces possessing a simple closed geodesic along which the Gauss curvature is negative we prove existence of nonconstant local ...

متن کاملA Non-convex PDE Scale Space
For image filtering applications, it has been observed recently that both diffusion filtering and associated regularization models provide similar filtering properties. The comparison has been performed for regularization functionals with convex penalization functional. In this paper we discuss the relation between non-convex regularization functionals and associated time dependent diffusion fi...
