We prove that the Willmore flow can drive embedded surfaces to self-intersections in finite time.
متن کاملWeak Solutions of the Willmore Ow
We show that the Willmore ow for smoothly immersed initial surfaces has eternal solutions in a weak sense, which are smooth except at nitely many times. Furthermore we study the set of singularities of such a weak solution.
متن کاملOn Curvature-Dependent Surface Evolution
Computer vision applications require representations for surfaces that are intrinsic and re ect the hierarchical nature of their geometric structure. Curvature-dependent ows have been successfully used for shape representation in two dimensions, principally due to a theorem on curve shortening ow stating that embedded curves evolving proportional to their curvature do not self-intersect and smo...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Shape Representation from Curvature Dependent Surface Evolution
This paper presents a novel approach to surface representation based on its diierential deformations. The evolution of an arbitrary curve by curvature deforms it to a round point while in the process simplifying it. Similarly, in this paper we seek a process that deforms an arbitrary surface into sphere without developing self-intersections, in the process creating a sequence of increasingly si...
متن کاملThree - Dimensional Shape Representation fromCurvature Dependent Surface
This paper presents a novel approach to surface representation based on its di erential deformations, and is an extension to surfaces of the \shape from deformation" framework for curves [31]. A representation of 3D shape for recognition must capture the multidimensional nature of shape, as well as the notion of a hierarchy of scale. A range of deformations can capture both: while constant defo...
