Abstract
We numerically check that the surface tension of membranes is independent of the shape of surface boundary. The surface tension is calculated by means of the Monte Carlo simulation technique on two types of cylinders made of rubans of size and , where the rubans are the same for the projected area and different in the ratio . The difference of the surface tension disappears in the thermodynamic limit in both models of Helfrich-Polyakov and Landau-Ginzburg.
