Threshold Dynamics for High Order Geometric Motions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a class of algorithms for the high order geometric motion of planar curves is developed. The algorithms alternate two simple steps—a convolution and a thresholding step—to evolve planar curves according to combinations of Willmore flow, surface diffusion flow and curvature motion. A distinguishing feature of the methods is that they posses much better stability than typical explicit algorithms. Formal expansions and numerical examples are provided for a variety of high order flows to validate the methods and illustrate their behaviors.

Diffusion generated motion using signed distance functions
We describe a new class of algorithms for generating a variety of geometric interfacial motions by alternating two steps: Construction of the signed distance function (i.e. redistancing) to the interface, and convolution with a suitable kernel. These algorithms can be seen as variants of Merriman, Bence, and Osher’s threshold dynamics [25]. The new algorithms proposed here preserve the computat...
متن کاملA path planning approach for computing large-amplitude motions of flexible molecules
MOTIVATION Motion is inherent in molecular interactions. Molecular flexibility must be taken into account in order to develop accurate computational techniques for predicting interactions. Energy-based methods currently used in molecular modeling (i.e. molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo algorithms) are, in practice, only able to compute local motions while accounting for molecular flexibility. How...
متن کاملA Normal Mode-Based Geometric Simulation Approach for Exploring Biologically Relevant Conformational Transitions in Proteins
A three-step approach for multiscale modeling of protein conformational changes is presented that incorporates information about preferred directions of protein motions into a geometric simulation algorithm. The first two steps are based on a rigid cluster normal-mode analysis (RCNMA). Low-frequency normal modes are used in the third step (NMSim) to extend the recently introduced idea of constr...
متن کاملDynamics of Space Free-Flying Robots with Flexible Appendages
A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...
