Stable variational approximations of boundary value problems for Willmore flow with Gaussian curvature
We study numerical approximations for geometric evolution equations arising as gradient flows for energy functionals that are quadratic in the principal curvatures of a two-dimensional surface. Beside the well-known Willmore and Helfrich flows we will also consider flows involving the Gaussian curvature of the surface. Boundary conditions for these flows are highly nonlinear, and we use a varia...

متن کاملVector Optimization Problems and Generalized Vector Variational-Like Inequalities
In this paper, some properties of pseudoinvex functions, defined by means of limiting subdifferential, are discussed. Furthermore, the Minty vector variational-like inequality, the Stampacchia vector variational-like inequality, and the weak formulations of these two inequalities defined by means of limiting subdifferential are studied. Moreover, some relationships between the vector vari...
