Stability and Bifurcation for Surfaces with Constant Mean Curvature
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give criteria for the existence of smooth bifurcation branches of fixed boundary CMC surfaces in R, and we discuss stability/instability issues for the surfaces in bifurcating branches. To illustrate the theory, we discuss an explicit example obtained from a bifurcating branch of fixed boundary unduloids inR.

Stability and Bifurcation of Equilibria for the Axisymmetric Averaged Mean Curvature Flow
We study the averaged mean curvature flow, also called the volume preserving mean curvature flow, in the particular setting of axisymmetric surfaces embedded in R3 satisfying periodic boundary conditions. We establish analytic well–posedness of the flow within the space of little-Hölder continuous surfaces, given rough initial data. We also establish dynamic properties of equilibria, including ...
متن کاملOn Well-Posedness, Stability, and Bifurcation for the Axisymmetric Surface Diffusion Flow
We study the axisymmetric surface diffusion (ASD) flow, a fourth-order geometric evolution law. In particular, we prove that ASD generates a real analytic semiflow in the space of (2+α)-little-Hölder regular surfaces of revolution embedded in R3 and satisfying periodic boundary conditions. Further, we investigate the geometric properties of solutions to ASD. Utilizing a connection to axisymmetr...
متن کاملHyperbolic surfaces of $L_1$-2-type
In this paper, we show that an $L_1$-2-type surface in the three-dimensional hyperbolic space $H^3subset R^4_1$ either is an open piece of a standard Riemannian product $ H^1(-sqrt{1+r^2})times S^{1}(r)$, or it has non constant mean curvature, non constant Gaussian curvature, and non constant principal curvatures.
متن کاملStability and the proximity theorem in Casimir actuated nano devices
A brief description of the stability problem in micro and nano electromechanical devices (MEMS/NEMS) actuated by Casimir forces is given. To enhance the stability, we propose the use of curved surfaces and recalculate the stability conditions by means of the proximity force approximation. The use of curved surfaces changes the bifurcation point, and the radius of curvature becomes a control par...
متن کاملDoubling constant mean curvature tori in S 3
The Clifford tori in S3 constitute a one-parameter family of flat, twodimensional, constant mean curvature (CMC) submanifolds. This paper demonstrates that new, topologically non-trivial CMC surfaces resembling a pair of neighbouring Clifford tori connected at a sub-lattice consisting of at least two points by small catenoidal bridges can be constructed by perturbative PDE methods. That is, one...
