Moving Surfaces by Non-concave Curvature Functions

چکیده
A convex surface contracting by a strictly monotone, homogeneous degree one function of curvature remains smooth until it contracts to a point in finite time, and is asymptotically spherical in shape. No assumptions are made on the concavity of the speed as a function of principal curvatures.

Line Tension and Wettability of Nanodrops on Curved Surfaces.
In this work we study the formation of nanodrops on curved surfaces (both convex and concave) by means of molecular dynamics simulations, where the particles interact via a Lennard-Jones potential. We find that the contact angle is not affected by the curvature of the substrate, in agreement with previous experimental findings. This means that the change in curvature of the drop in response to ...
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 کاملUnraveling origins of the heterogeneous curvature dependence of polypeptide interactions with carbon nanostructures.
Emerging nanotechnology has rapidly broadened interfacial prospects of biological molecules with carbon nanomaterials (CNs). A prerequisite for effectively harnessing such hybrid materials is a multi-faceted understanding of their complex interfacial interactions as functions of the physico-chemical characteristics and the surface topography of the individual components. In this article, we add...
متن کاملBi-concave Functions Defined by Al-Oboudi Differential Operator
The purpose of the present paper is to introduce a class $D_{Sigma ;delta }^{n}C_{0}(alpha )$ of bi-concave functions defined by Al-Oboudi differential operator. We find estimates on the Taylor-Maclaurin coefficients $leftvert a_{2}rightvert $ and $leftvert a_{3}rightvert$ for functions in this class. Several consequences of these results are also pointed out in the form of corollaries.
متن کاملSecond Order Surface Analysis
Results from analyzing the curvature of a surface can be used to improve the implementation, e ciency, and e ectiveness of manufacturing and visualization of sculptured surfaces. In this paper, we develop a robust method using hybrid symbolic and numeric operators to create trimmed surfaces each of which is solely convex, concave, or saddle and partitions the original surface. The same method i...
